The xcolor provides support for coloring table rows in a variety of patterns. The colortbl can color rows, columns, cells and rules.

There is a nice article by Lapo Filippo Mori in the PracTeX Journal that describes the usage of both packages. Scroll down to section 4.

@Sharpie Can the the xcolor package be used for completely coloring the table in one specific color in one go? I am trying to replicate the look of this table for my report. I read up on the colortbl package but it has a pretty limited palette. Do you have any pointers on how to write minimal code for that table using xcolor? Most tips involving xcolor are about alternating colored rows. – Ariel Dec 26 '11 at 16:16
