gt() table - header color

Question

How do I add color to the header (i.e the column names) of my data frame using the gt() function in R

gt_Head <-
  gt_Head %>%
  tab_header(
  title = md("**Table of First 10 Observations**")
  )%>%
  tab_style(
    style = cell_text(weight = "bold"),
    locations = cells_body(
      rows = 0  
    )
  )

Answer 1

You can use the column_labels.background.color option (see all options here), e.g.

library(gt)
head(mtcars, 10) |> 
  gt() |> 
  tab_header(
    title = md("**Table of First 10 Observations**")
  ) |> 
  tab_options(column_labels.background.color = "blue")
