I was not sure myself, so I used Google: How do change the foreground color of a table cell in word file using openxml using C - Google Search[^] and found this: How can I modify the foreground and background color of an OpenXML TableCell?[^] ... That was the first result of many. If not that, have a look at the others.

Thanks !!! But the references in the internet doesn't seems to help me to solve this in my case it's quit confusing

Does not help how? Why confusing? You replied super quickly. Did you look at other links at those solutions too in the 4 minutes between when I posted and your reply???

IDK, this is pretty clear to me and I have not worked with it before...

// Create the TableCellProperties object
TableCellProperties tcp = new TableCellProperties(
    new TableCellWidth { Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Auto, }
);
// Create the Shading object
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Shading shading = 
    new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Shading() {
    Color = "auto",
    Fill = "ABCDEF",
    Val = ShadingPatternValues.Clear
};
// Add the Shading object to the TableCellProperties object
tcp.Append(shading);
// Add the TableCellProperties object to the TableCell object
tc.Append(tcp);

That is a total of 4 lines of code.
