I asked this in 2007, but no answer.  I presume this is not possible,
but I will ask briefly---has it become possible to change the
foreground text color with a \rowcolor-like command, too, or is it
still only possible to change the background color (with colortbl's
\rowcolor)?

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{array}
\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{>{\columncolor{blue!40}\color{yellow}}c>{\color{red}}c}
 foo & bar \\
\rowcolor{cyan!30} foo & bar
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

If your columns are not l, c or r (ie p, m or b) then make sure \color
is preceded by \leavevmode, \noindent, \indent or \quitvmode (pdfTeX)...

thanks, herbert.  no, I mean a foreground color for a whole row, not a
foreground color for a column...

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{array}

\newcolumntype{C}{>{\color{\fgcolor}}c}
\newcommand*\setfgcolor[1]{\gdef\fgcolor{#1}}
\setfgcolor{black}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{>{\columncolor{blue!40}}CCC}
 foo & bar & baz\setfgcolor{red}\\
 foo & bar & baz\setfgcolor{black}\\
 foo & bar & baz\\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

must be set _before_ the foregoing row ends

thank you, herbert.  duh!  great use of the '>' command with gdef.
