I'm using the colortbl package to color table cells. I've combined this w/ the xcolor package to define my own colors. However, it appears that xcolor does not support transparency. I saw the package transparent, but it is oriented toward text and I wasn't able to set the transparency level of a defined color. Are there any packages that support alpha color channels?
A:
You could do that either with PSTricks or with PGF/TikZ.
A similar problem was discussed here: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=697

Yes, I saw that page, it doesn't really seem to address my question. Does anyone know how I could use TikZ to do this? I'd like to stick w/ pdflatex.

Thanks, I saw that one as well, but he does not actually color cells in that table using TikZ as far as I can see. He uses colortbl which to the best of my knowledge doesn't accept colors w/ alpha channels
