Just in case anyone is interested...

My GUI table is only used to display information and is not editable so this was a great solution for me.  

Clement Val sent me this:

Simply, the uitable supports HTML, so you just have to put something like '&lt;html&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #AABBCC;&quot;&gt;your content here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/html&gt;' in the data field, and the background color is changed. However, if the field needs to be editable, this won't work : as soon as he clicks it, the user displays and edits everything, including the html code.
