For supplement in C++ way, if you want to paint custom color unlike Qt::red and so on, you can do something like : ui->tableWidget->item(i, j)->setBackground(QColor(152,234,112));

Here are some useful lines of code. Sorry for redundancy, I'm trying to gain some reputation.

QStandardItemModel* model = new QStandardItemModel(numRows, numColumns);
QStringList headers;
headers.append("Date");
model->setHorizontalHeaderLabels(headers);
QStandardItem* item = new QStandardItem(text);
item->setData(Qt::AlignCenter, Qt::TextAlignmentRole);
item->setData(QVariant(QBrush(Qt::green)), Qt::BackgroundRole);
model->setItem(row, column, item);

or simply:

item->setBackground(Qt::green);

if you use QTableView use this:

model.setData(model.index(0, 0), QVariant(QBrush(Qt::red)), Qt::BackgroundRole);

I used something like this:

brush = QtGui.QBrush(QtGui.QColor(255, 0, 0))
brush.setStyle(QtCore.Qt.SolidPattern)
item.setBackground(brush)

Where item is QTableWidgetItem object

Use

QTableWidgetItem QTableWidget.item(row, column)

and 

QTableWidgetItem setData(role, data)

with

Qt.BackgroundRole

as follows:

table.item(0, 0).setData(Qt.BackgroundRole, color).

And read about the Roles mechanism used in Qt Model/View.

Hey, you set the delegate method for the table widget. in the paint event of the delegate you handle the color changing technique.. have a look at this example,here they have done custom selection color. same way you handle the item cell painting
