3 way of styling tables using css:

inline
style html tag
CSS file

you should apply styles to the table html tags representing cells:

td{
padding:7px;
vertical-align:middle;
}

th{
padding:7px;
vertical-align:middle;    
}
tr td:nth-child(4){
 color:green;
}

tr td:nth-child(4){
 color:red;
}
tr{
 border-bottom:solid 1px #f1f1f1;
}

table{
background:#fff;
}

CodePudding user response：

Use nth-child(even) for tr & td first-child for only selecting every first td cell at even tr row.
While need to select all last td cells then use :last-child

A nice place to learn more about tables styling

table {
  font-family: arial, sans-serif;
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 100%;
}

td,
th {
  border: 1px solid #dddddd;
  text-align: left;
  padding: 8px;
}

tr:nth-child(even) {
  background-color: #dddddd;
}

tr:nth-child(even) td:first-child  {
  color: red;
}

td:last-child  {
  color: green;
}

<h2>HTML Table</h2>

<table>
  <tr>

  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td>
    <td>Francisco Chang</td>

You can also use nth-child(3) nth-child(4)..... and can better implement after going through tutorials available on the web
