Is HDTBL a viable option for your data?

I was thinking of the options from man groff_hdtbl:
bgc=[c]
              The  background  color  of the table cells.
              This includes the area specified with the ‘csp’ argument.
              The argument ‘bgc=’ (no value) suppresses a background color;
              this makes the background transparent.
              Default: ‘bgc=bisque’ (string ‘t*bgc’).

fgc=c         The foreground color of the cell contents.
              Default: ‘fgc=red4’ (string ‘t*fgc’).
