Cell cell = new Cell();
cell.add(new Paragraph("TITLE"));

The best way to find out how to create colors, is to check the API docs. When you go to the page that describes the 'Color' class, you see that it has several subclasses:

It seems that you want to create an RGB color, hence you need DeviceRgb:

Color headerBg = new DeviceRgb(0xA6, 0xCB, 0x0B);
Color lineColor = new DeviceRgb(0xCC, 0xCC, 0xCC);

You can use the color object to set the color of borders, backgrounds, etc...
