Can I color table columns using CSS without coloring individual cells?

Answer 1

My version using nth-child expressions:

Using the CSS concept of cascade rules to first coloring the cells and then to uncolor the ones i want to be transparent. The first selector selects all the cells after the first one, and the second one selects the fifth cell to be transparent.
