How about this?


class TableViewController: UITableViewController {

    var listA = ["Event 1", "Event 2", "Event 3", "Event 4"]
    var listB = ["Event 1", "Event 3"]

    override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
                            numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return self.listA.count
    }


    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
                            cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView
            .dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "reuseIdentifier", for: indexPath)

        let event = self.listA[indexPath.row]
        cell.textLabel?.text = event
        cell.backgroundColor = self.listB.contains(event) ? .secondarySystemFill : nil

        return cell
    }

}
