\cellcolor covers vertical lines
aha...@iastate.edu
within the cells. See code below.
If there was not a difference in the spacing between the cells and the
coloring, I would not see any of the vertical lines. I am not sure
what to do.
Ideas?

First refer to colortbl documentation.
Second it's David Carlisle's job: and David does not like colors !
=> fully buggy !
\columncolor{color}[left overhang]
[right overhang]
overhang is in place of \tabcolsep. Very usefull ! That is if you change
\tabcolsep, you have to change the overhangs parameters !!
\tabcolsep=6pt so here we put overhang=5pt to reduce the area by 1pt.
In tabu package we will say [-1pt] ;-) ie \tabcolsep -1pt !
\tabularnewline is unreadable: use \\ and \arraybackslash
\newcolumntype M[1]{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash
\columncolor{background}[5pt][5pt]%
\noindent\color{foreground}} m{#1mm}}
Well: if you want to change the color just say :
\xglobal\colorlet{foreground}{....}
\xglobal\colorlet{background}{....}
Then the preamble collaspes into:
\begin{tabular}{>{\columncolor{DarkBlue}\noindent\color{white}}M{30}
*5{M{25} |}}
And colortbl is buggy (see the example)
And \hhline is crap ! | does not follow \arrayrulewidth for example
And \cellcolor does not provide the overhang parameters !
With tabu this is :
\tabusetup* {reset,linesep=0pt,everyrow=\noalign{\vskip1mm},
overhang=-1pt }
\begin{tabu} { X [ ^white _DodgerBlue] | *5X[ .9 l LightGrey ] }
\rowfont{\cellcolor{ ^DodgerBlue _white }}
\blankcell &\multicolumn5c{\Large \bfseries
Clean Energy Technologies and Components}
\\ \tabucline{2-}\noalign{\vskip1mm}
\rowfont{\cellcolor {^white _blue }}\blankcell
&Solar Cells &Wind Turbines
&\multicolumn2c{Vehicles} &Lighting
\\
MATERIAL \rowfont{\cellcolor{ ^DarkBlue _white } }
&PV films &Magnets &Magnets
&Batteries &Phosphors
\\
\cellcolor{blue} Cerium & & & & & \\
Indium & & & & & \\
Gallium & & & & &
\\ \hline
\end{tabu}
But I have to finish the implementation ;-)
With tabular, a possible solution with your beloved \hhline ;-)
\newcolumntype
M[1]{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash\columncolor{background}[5pt][5pt]\noindent\color{foreground}}
m{#1mm}}
\colorlet{background}{white}
\colorlet{foreground}{black}
\noindent
\begin{tabular} { >{\columncolor{DarkBlue}\noindent\color{white}} M{30}

\cellcolor{white} & \multicolumn5c{\Large
