Three alternating row colours in a table with multirow
TeX - LaTeX Asked on May 24, 2021
I have an horribly complex LaTeX table which I try to make a bit more readable.
I would like to use three different row colours, starting at the batch size column.
It is very difficult to do so, because every row consists of two rows (please ignore those zero values, they will soon change to meaningful values) and in the beginning, they are merged in packs of three.
The code is the following:
begin{tabular}{|c|c|l|l|l|l|}
hline
multirow{2}{*}{Modell} & multicolumn{1}{l|}{multirow{2}{*}{Batch size}} & multicolumn{4}{c|}{Learning rate} cline{3-6}
& multicolumn{1}{l|}{} & 0.05 & 0.10 & 0.15 & 0.20 hline
hline
cellcolor{white}multirow{6}{*}{Multilingual Flair} & multirow{2}{*}{16} & 0.7319 & 0.7705 & 0.7901 & textit{0.8316}
& & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 cline{2-6}
& multirow{2}{*}{32} & 0.631 & 0.681 & 0.7658 & 0.7747
& & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 cline{2-6}
& multirow{2}{*}{64} & 0.5919 & 0.6628 & 0.6676 & 0.7105
& & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 hline
multirow{6}{*}{BERT} & multirow{2}{*}{16} & 0.8113 & 0.8215 & 0.8279 & 0.8307
& & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 cline{2-6}
& multirow{2}{*}{32} & 0.7918 & 0.8236 & textbf{0.8338} & 0.8286
& & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 cline{2-6}
& multirow{2}{*}{64} & 0.7495 & 0.8008 & 0.8027 & 0.8128
& & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 hline
multirow{6}{*}{XLM-RoBERTa} & multirow{2}{*}{16} & 0.5972 & 0.5939 & 0.6351 & 0.6162
& & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 cline{2-6}
& multirow{2}{*}{32} & 0.5855 & 0.5929 & textit{0.6364} & 0.6057
& & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 cline{2-6}
& multirow{2}{*}{64} & 0.5641 & 0.5943 & 0.5989 & 0.6177
& & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 & ±0.0 hline
end{tabular}
At the moment, it looks like that:
However, I would love to have it looking that way (with other colours for sure):
Are there any nice ideas out there how to do so?
The rowcolors{1}{grey!25}{white} command seems to work only with two colours

With rowcolor for each row and a different placement of the multirow commands, you can achieve the following output. Personally, I'd prefer a different colorless approach that also removes almost all lines in the table. I have also included the code for this approach as well:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{geometry}
usepackage{multirow}
usepackage[table,svgnames]{xcolor}
% Just used in the second example table:
usepackage{booktabs}
usepackage{siunitx}
usepackage{makecell}
renewcommand{theadfont}{normalsize}
usepackage{etoolbox}
robustifybfseries
robustifyitshape

A solution without multirow, based on collcell and stackengine:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage[table, svgnames]{xcolor}
usepackage{multirow, hhline}
usepackage{collcell}
newcolumntype{L}{>{$collectcellVectorstack}l<{endcollectcell$}}
usepackage[usestackEOL]{stackengine}
setstackEOL{nl}
setlength{extrarowheight}{2pt}

You can easily do that table with nicematrix.
The output will be perfect in all the PDF viewers, at all levels of zoom (you won't have rules which seem to vanish).
However, you need several compilations (because nicematrix uses PGF/Tikz nodes).
documentclass{article}
usepackage{nicematrix}
