What Add Color to CSV can do:

Add Color to CSV takes plain spreadsheet-style text and turns it into a styled HTML table ready for reports, dashboards, slides, or embedding. You can color by row or column, apply striped styles, and highlight headers automatically. It’s a quick way to turn basic data into something visually readable without writing HTML manually. Great for presentations, shareable web snippets, or stylized exports. And everything happens right in your browser, so it’s fast and secure.

Example:

Input:

name,age,city
Alice,30,New York
Bob,25,Los Angeles

Output (HTML preview):

<table>
  <tr><th>name</th><th>age</th><th>city</th></tr>
  <tr style="background-color: #cce5ff"><td>Alice</td><td>30</td><td>New York</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Bob</td><td>25</td><td>Los Angeles</td></tr>
</table>

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool when you want to add visual formatting to a data table for a website, blog post, or internal document. It’s especially useful for making quick HTML previews for CSV content without writing markup from scratch.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Before coloring, Analyze CSV helps identify which values or columns might be worth highlighting. And if you’re working with categories, Color Words in Text lets you assign shades based on labels.
