How to highlight table rows by colors in Beamer

Question

I would like to highlight rows in tables, in rowwise, that is I would like to highlight row 1 in red, then make row 1 in black but row 2 in red, etc.

How can I manage to do so in Beamer?

Answer 1

For a simple customized static row colouring :

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{color, colortbl}
\definecolor{LRed}{rgb}{1,.8,.8}
\definecolor{MRed}{rgb}{1,.6,.6}
\definecolor{HRed}{rgb}{1,.2,.2}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\rowcolor{LRed} a & b & c \\
                 a & b & c \\
\rowcolor{LRed} a & b & c \\
\rowcolor{MRed} a & b & c \\
\rowcolor{HRed} a & b & c \\
\rowcolor{MRed} a & b & c \\
\rowcolor{LRed} a & b & c \\
\rowcolor{MRed} a & b & c \\
\end{tabular}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

For overlays of odd/even coloring of the link of cmhughes or some more complex, see this MWE:

    \documentclass[xcolor=table]{beamer}

    \rowcolors{1}{gray!30}{gray!10}

    \makeatletter
    \def\rowcolor{\noalign{\ifnum0=`}\fi\bmr@rowcolor}
    \newcommand<>{\bmr@rowcolor}{%
        \alt#1%
            {\global\let\CT@do@color\CT@@do@color\@ifnextchar[\CT@rowa\CT@rowb}% 
            {\ifnum0=`{\fi}\@gooble@rowcolor}% 
    }

    \newcommand{\@gooble@rowcolor}[2][]{\@gooble@rowcolor@}
    \newcommand{\@gooble@rowcolor@}[1][]{\@gooble@rowcolor@@}
    \newcommand{\@gooble@rowcolor@@}[1][]{\ignorespaces}
    \makeatother

    \begin{document}
    \begin{frame}{The MWE}%

    \only<2>{\rowcolors{1}{blue!30}{blue!10}}
    \only<1,3>{\rowcolors{1}{gray!30}{gray!10}}

    \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{cc}
        A & B \\
        A & B \\
        A & B \\
        \rowcolor<4>{green} A & B \\
        \rowcolor<4,5>{yellow}A & B \\
        \rowcolor<4-6>{green}A & B \\
        \rowcolor<6>{red} A & B \\
        A & B \\

    \end{tabular}
    \end{center}

    \par    
    \visible<1>{Testing default row colouring ... \\}
    \visible<2,3>{Testing change of default colors ...\\}
    \visible<4-6>{Testing in-out of custom colors ...\\ (caution: The order of defaults colors can change)\\}
