Coloring is very difficult in Tables, and depends on a lot of trickery.

I'll look at it later.

Hm. I'll look at it. 

======================= Now how about this one ====================

\unexpanded\def\Check#1

     % forget about it

=================================================================

Knowing you, you can also generate this by your script. (Putting \Check
for each entry is also possible, or putting whatever command in a cell;
ask if you don't understand what I'm saying.) 

That way you can also put rules around an entry or even pictures behind
them.
