Adding alternate-row shading to your LaTeX Tables

Two steps,

1. In the preamble:
   

   
   \documentclass{article}
   
   \usepackage[table]{xcolor}
   \definecolor{tableShade1}{HTML}{F1F5FA}   
   \definecolor{tableShade2}{HTML}{ECF3FE}  
   
   \begin{document}
   

   
   
2. Just before \begin{tabular}, add
   

   
   \rowcolors{1}{tableShade1}{tableShade2}
   

   
   The first argument is which row to start on. This is useful (e.g.) if your header row is actually multiple rows.
