To change the appearance of the preceding table so that Nitrogen is blue, Oxygen is green, and Argon is red, we will pass some arguments in the following code:

# Cell colours w/ rowColours, cellColours & colColours
fracs = (78, 21, 1)
labels = ('Nitrogen', 'Oxygen', 'Argon')
plt.pie(fracs, labels=labels)
plt.table(cellText=[fracs], rowLabels=['Fraction'], colLabels=labels, colColours=['b','g','r'])
plt.gca().set_aspect('equal')

The column labels will change. The output is as follows:

To change the color of the Fraction row, change callColors to cellColors. Since it has to match the same dimensions, we can give the same dimensions a three by one matrix. By doing this, we get colored cells:

# Cell colours w/ rowColours, cellColours & colColours
fracs = (78, 21, 1)
labels = ('Nitrogen', 'Oxygen', 'Argon')
plt.pie(fracs, labels=labels)
plt.table(cellText=[fracs], rowLabels=['Fraction'], colLabels=labels, cellColours=[['b','g','r']])
plt.gca().set_aspect('equal')

The output for the preceding code is as follows:
