Get background color of HTML table cell

Dear PAD experts,

I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I'm extracting an html table using the wizard. The auto-generated extraction source looks like this: html > body > div:eq(19) > table > tbody > tr > td > div > div:eq(2) > form:eq(2) > table

In addition to the content shown in the table, I'd like to extract the background color of each row. The goal is to identify rows with a specific color.

I already tried to "get attributes from web element" based on single table cells, but the activity does not provide the desired attribute "background-color" in the dropdown menu. Typing it in there manually leaves the generated variable empty.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this?

If you inspect the table using F12 in your browser, are you able to see if the style is part of the table row or if it's above it? If the style is within the table row, you can extract the "style" attribute:
<tr style="background-color:yellowgreen;color:white;">
For this case you would want your extraction to look something like this:
This does extract everything after the "style", so you would then probably have to crop the text to just have the background colour, and do this for every row in the table.
