Text Color in Table Changes When on Mobile

I just noticed that when a table on my website is displayed on a mobile phone, the text turns from white (desktop) to grey, making it difficult to read.  This seems to be the case for all themes, unless the theme has a dark background.  Is there any way to maintain the same text color for desktop and mobile devices without going to a dark background?

It looks like you made your table with custom HTML - we can't really assist with troubleshooting how it's behaving because of that.  Have you thought about using the Table app from our App Center? That likley would display better:

I ended up using the table app (which I had previously avoided due to so many negative reviews).  This seemed to work well enough for this specific table (small), but anyone with a bigger table should probably consider the theme-change fix.  Thanks for your help and I hope you guys find the time to improve that table app at some point.

Hey,

This is happening due to the Mobile Optimized site settings of your older theme template. You may also want to consider switching to one of our many responsive themes. These themes are designed to automatically adapt to the size of the viewer's screen, which ensures a uniform look across every device and eliminates the need for the separate, simplified mobile versions that are necessary with our older, non-responsive themes. This would remedy the issue you are having with the table on mobile taking on the Mobile specific settings.

You can switch to another theme from the Theme tab, and even preview how it will look before switching. If you're currently using a non-responsive theme and don't want to change your whole site's look, you can also turn off the mobile version of your site and have have the full desktop site display on smartphone platforms - this option is in the Settings tab if you're using a non-responsive theme.

I used "Simple Table" but I need to make some of the cells different colors...? This seems like it should be simple. I can change the entire table but not the individual cells. Is there a work around? Is there a weebly tool for this?

Thx
