Not sure how to do it with all the other table interfaces (what is
their deprecation status anyway?), but:
% set background of first (1) column (c) to gray
\setupTABLE[c][1][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
The syntax looks rather familiar if you've ever constructed tables in
HTML. You may wish to define your own color (before setupTABLE, and
replacing "gray" with "myowngray" there):
\definecolor[myowngray][s=0.3]
"s=" defines a grayscale color; 0 is black, 1 is white. Of course, you
may choose a different name.
Cheers,
