uit = uitable(figure);
uit.Data = {'row','one';'blank:',' ';'row','three';' ','<--blank'};
uit.ForegroundColor = [1,1,1];
uit.BackgroundColor = [0,0,0;.5,.5,.5];
uit.ColumnEditable = true;
Once the table is generated, I intend on typing information into the blank cells. Is there a way of setting the foreground color of those specific cells to [0,.9,.4], for example? (Or perhaps changing the foreground color of the entire row?) I'm interested in a method of having user added text being a different color than the pre-populate table. Thank you.

I've figured a workaround, for anyone else curious:
<html><font color="#FFDC66">Type your text here :)
Using this html code in a cell allows you to change the text color. You can adjust the html hexadecimal code to whatever color you want, too.

@JessHMann:
uit = uitable(figure);
uit.Data = {'<html><font color="#FFDC66">row', 'one'; ...
'<html><font color="#FFDC00">blank:', ' '; ...
'<html><font color="#FF0066">row', 'three'; ...
' ','<--blank'};
uit.ForegroundColor = [1,1,1];
uit.BackgroundColor = [0,0,0;.5,.5,.5];

is this feasible in App Desginer as well, right in this way ?

This can be accomplished using uistyle and addStyle.
There are examples available in the linked documentation.
