So you just want the title block of the table to change color? The cells
have their own background attribute, called bgcolor.
So just rearrange the Template tiddler to have this text:
\define mytable(colorclass)
<table class="persontable ">
<tr><td colspan=2 bgcolor=$colorclass$> @@display:block;width:23em;color:
lightgrey; <<currentTiddler>> @@ </td></tr>
<tr><td> ''Value 1'' </td><td>@@display:block;width:15em;{{!!value1}}@@</td
></tr>
<tr><td>@@display:block;width:6.5em;''Value 2''@@
</td><td>@@display:block;width:15em;stuff@@
</td></tr>
<tr><td>@@display:block;width:6.5em;''Value 3''@@
</td><td>@@display:block;width:15em;@@
</td></tr>
</table>
\end
<$macrocall $name="mytable" colorclass={{!!tablecolor}}/>
Note that all I did was remove $colorclass$ from the table tag and add
bgcolor=$colorclass$ to the first <td> tag.
Hopefully we're getting close!
