 * Hello,
    Is there anyway I can change which column gets the gray background without
   creating 4 different tables?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, this should be possible by adding an “Extra CSS class” in the table Shortcode:
 *     ```
       [table id=123 extra_css_classes="first-column-gray" /]
       ```
   
 *     ```
       [table id=123 extra_css_classes="second-column-gray" /]
       ```
   
 *     ```
       [table id=123 extra_css_classes="third-column-gray" /]
       ```
   
 *     ```
       [table id=123 extra_css_classes="fourth-column-gray" /]
       ```
   
 * Then, you can use those newly added CSS classes in the “Custom CSS” code to style
   the desired column gray, like
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123.first-column-gray tbody .column-2 {
         background-color: gray;
       }
       ```
   
 * and so on.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
