Change Color Of Rows In A Table In Html And Css

Trying to learn HTML and CSS and I have a simple question. How can I give each row a different color in a table? For example row 1 is red, row 2 is blue etc. This is my HTML code:

Solution 1:

If I understand your question correctly and you want to give every row a different color? You have a few options...

• Add a class to each row and style those.
• Use the direct sibling selector tr + tr
• Use :nth-of-type

tabletr {background: red;}
tabletr:nth-of-type(2) {background: blue;}
tabletr:nth-of-type(3) {background: green;}
tabletr:nth-of-type(4) {background: yellow;}
tabletr:nth-of-type(5) {background: grey;}

<tableid="table"><tr><th>Company</th><th>Contact
      <th>Country</th></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>2
      <td>3</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>2
      <td>3</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>2
      <td>3</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>2
      <td>3</td></tr></table>

Solution 2:

You can also try like this

#tabletr{background: red;}
#tabletr:nth-child(2n+1){background: blue;}

#table {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width:600px;
border-collapse;collapse;

#tabletd, #tableth {
font-size:12x;
border:1px solid #4D365B;
padding: 3px7px2px7px;

#tableth {
font-size:14px;
text-align:left;
padding-top:px;
padding-bottom:4px;
background-color:#4D365B;
color:#918CB5;

#tabletd {
color:#000000;
background-color:#979BCA;
}

<tableid="table"><tr><th> Company</th><th>Contact<th>Country</th></tr><tr><td> 1</td><td>2<td> 3</td></tr><tr><td> 1</td><td>2<td> 3</td></tr><tr><td> 1</td><td>2<td> 3</td></tr>

Solution 3:

This can be done easily using pseudo selectorsnth-child.

#tabletr:nth-child(odd){background:red}
#tabletr:nth-child(even){background:blue}

<tableid="table"><tr><th> Company</th><th>Contact<th>Country</th></tr><tr><td> 1</td><td>2<td> 3</td></tr><tr><td> 1</td><td>2<td> 3</td></tr><tr><td> 1</td><td>2<td> 3</td></tr></table>

Solution 4:

tr:nth-child(even) {
  background: #ff0101;
}

 tr:nth-child(odd) {
  background: #0030ff;
}

<tableclass="ex1"><tbody><tr><th>Month

Solution 5:

you can try selecting each row through CSS. In your case:

tabletr:first-child{background:red}    or   tabletr:nth-child(1){background:red}

tabletr:nth-child(2){background:blue}

tabletr:nth-child(3){background:orange}

tabletr:nth-child(4){background:yellow}

tabletr:last-child{background:purple} or tabletr:nth-child(5)
{background:purple}
