A lot of the posts on this forum show that people often want more flexibility when creating cards.

While writing a Guru card earlier today, I noticed that a simple change to how tables are created could really enhance the viewing experience...

If we could add background and border colours to tables with a hex colour picker (instead of the limited colours available now), these tables could work as sections on a card, highlighting important information.

For instance, if you want a card section with three neatly spaced rows, you can insert a table, set the border to match the card's background colour, add your columns, and publish.

The table’s border would blend in to the card, making it less obvious as a table to the viewer.

This would also let you build cards in ‘blocks’ like Notion does.

Even if Guru move toward ‘block’ editing like Notion does, having tables with customisable backgrounds/borders would be desirable, so it’s not as if any time spent looking into this would be wasted if the UI were to change. 

I’ve made a mock-up of how the UI might look to illustrate this a bit better.
