Align grid starting and ending points when starting grid-item is empty and grid-gap is there

I'm trying to create a column grid where each grid-item has some dynamic width or it can have 0 width also, but because of using grid-gap, even if the width is 0, it's creating a gap.

enter image description here

So, if you see in the third row, we have empty space before the green column, same in the second row after the blue column, how to avoid this?

Just based on the way you have your markup and styling a quick fix would be to add a .child declaration and set margin: 0 3px; (or whatever size makes sense) and then set grid-gap: 0; in .item. See snippet below.

body {
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

.item {
  display: grid;
  height: 20px;
  grid-gap: 0;
  margin-bottom: 5px;
  width: 200px;
}

.item1 {
  grid-template-columns: 50% 0px 50% 0;
}

.item2 {
  grid-template-columns: 0px 50% 0 50%;
}

.item3 {
  grid-template-columns: 25% 25% 25% 25%;
}

.child {
  margin: 0 3px;
}

.child1 {
  background-color: red;
}

.child2 {
  background-color: green;
}

.child3 {
  background-color: blue;
}

.child4 {
  background-color: black;
}
