title: How to set a background color of a Table Cell using iText?
body: <p>While it is of course possible to use <code>BaseColor</code>, by default, it offers very limited choices.</p>

  <pre><code>...
          PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
  
          PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("some clever text"));
          cell.setBackgroundColor(BaseColor.GREEN);
          table.addCell(cell);
  ...
  </code></pre>
