Hai All,
ConTeXt makes it so easy to use colors that some shortcomings of TeX become
quite apparant. Does anyone have experience with the TeX clones like eTeX
if they do color better?
For example background color of cells in a table is difficult to get right.
Also I want vertical gray lines between rows.
Groetjes,
Berend.

Got you! It's one of the undocumented features:
\stelkleurenin[status=start] \setupcolors[state=start]
\starttabel[||] \starttable[||]
\HC[groen][4] \HC[green][4]
\VC[rood] test \VC[blauw][8] \SR \VC[red] test \VC[blue] \SR
\HC[groen] \HC[green]
\stoptabel \stoptable
\end
Color in cells is not that hard. I suggest that you look in core-tab for
some examples. Another automatic feature is:
\AR (automatic row instead of \SR \FR \MR \LR)
Wanna get crazy: turn on tracing: \tracetabletrue
