UITableView cell background color

Question

how to set different background colors for cells in a UITableView (specifically rainbow color for seven cells)

Answer 1

Pretty sure UITableViewCell is a subclass of UIView, so:

cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];

For awful rainbow colors, here is an example:

static NSArray *colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[UIColor redColor], [UIColor yellowColor], etc..., nil];
cell.backgroundColor = [colors objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
