I have model called TestResults
models.py
----------
Class TestResults(models)
       chemical_name charfield
       value    floatfield
       unit  charfield
       method  charfield
       normal_limit charfield
       caution_limit charfield
       color charfield
Now,
The below code will generate the table for oils, which has following fields.
views.py
---------
fields = ('Test Name', 'Value', 'Unit', 'Method',
               'Normal Limit', 'Caution Limit')
all_oils = [(test.chemical_name, test.value, test.unit, test.method,
                     test.normal_limit, test.caution_limit)
        for test in TestResult.objects.all())]
oil_table = Table([fields] + all_oils
oil_table.setStyle(TableStyle([('BACKGROUND', (0, 0), (-1, 0), '#a7a5a5'),
                                  ('FONTSIZE', (0, 0), (-1, 0), 6),
                                  ('GRID', (0, 0), (-1, -1), 2, '#a7a5a5'),
                                  ('FONTSIZE', (0, 0), (-1, -1), 8),
                                  ('FONTNAME',(1,1),(1,-1),'Times-Bold')]))
Now how can I provide dynamic color for each column. Suppose my TestResult model is having field for color (I,e color=red)
In report i want dynamic color for second column which comes from model objects
How can I achieve this?
