Dear Henning,

thank you for your interest in pgfplotstable!

I took the freedom to answer your question on the mailing list, where it 
might be of interest to others as well.

Your question, how to combine colored tables with multicolumn appears to 
be a common difficulty in LaTeX.
I found the solution to use \columncolor inside of the \multicolumn. 
Thus, one of your multicolumns would become
\multicolumn {2}{>{\columncolor[gray]{.8}}c}{$e_1$}
It appears as if it is forbidden to use \rowcolor inside of a 
\multicolumn. The solution to insert \columncolor is certainly 
unsatisfactory, because it has to be repeated for every (colored) column 
and the overhang configuration needs to be replicated. But I am unaware 
of a better solution.

Since you mentioned that you are familiar with pgfplotstable and how to 
insert a \multicolumn with pgfplotstable, I assume that the paragraph 
above answer the question... In case you need assistance with the 
pgfplotstable config, it might be helpful to have a minimal example.

Best regards

Christian
