Update:
Starting in R2019b you can use the uistyle, addStyle, and removeStyle functions.
f = uifigure;
uit = uitable(f, Data = "hi");
s = uistyle('BackgroundColor','red');
addStyle(uit,s,'column',1)
Original Answer
Hi,
this is pretty tricky within an uitable since the text you display will have a red background and not the full cell in the table:
uitable('Data',{'<body bgcolor="#FF0000">Hello</body>'})
You will see that Hello has a read background but thats all.
So we can do a small trick. Instead of adding the text we add a html table which contains the text. In addition this html table is sooooo wide that it needs the full cell^^:
uitable('Data',{'<table border=0 width=400 bgcolor=#FF0000><TR><TD>Hello</TD></TR> </table>' })
So overall you can do a colored table like this:
colergen = @(color,text) ['<table border=0 width=400 bgcolor=',color,'><TR><TD>',text,'</TD></TR> </table>'];
data = { 2.7183 , colergen('#FF0000','Red')
'dummy text' , colergen('#00FF00','Green')
3.1416 , colergen('#0000FF','Blue')
}
uitable('data',data)

Thanks. Yeah, I read about it too. But the problem is, I'm currently on 2019a and I need the code to work with 2016 version onwards. So, I'm much more interested in the hacks. Could you please share?

In Matlab 2017a (and at least as far back as 2013b) this has improved. The uitable now has a "BackgroundColor" property. This is an array of n rows and 3 columns, RGB values between 0 and 1. It appears that if this array has less rows than the data in the table, then the colours are repeated throughout the table.
To highlight a single row, create a colour array the same size as your data and specify the row of interest as the colour you want.
This is how the alternating row colours are created (and so those colours can be changed if you want as well).

Hello, that is my way to try to get the GUI uitable BAckgroundColor changed. But it is only changing the whole uitable. I want it to just change the row of the checkbox green if the checkbox is 1 and if checkbox is 0, change to red background of the row. Thanks for your help. best regards

 function pushbutton2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
 global pushbutton
 [num,txt,raw]= xlsread(uigetfile ({'.xlsx'}))
 anzahl_kriterien = size([raw],1)% --> aendern
 kriterium =  cell(anzahl_kriterien);
 tabledata = [num2cell(true(length(raw),1)),raw];
 set(handles.uitable3, 'data',tabledata)
 setappdata(handles.uitable3,'RawTableDat',raw)

Hi there...
Did you find any solution to this problem? I'm also looking for the same.
