Problems with \rowcolors and booktabs

Question

I've got few tables created with few packages included booktabs where I use the command \rowcolors from the xcolor package. But in the last I notice that the colour is wider that the lines of the same table. Since the way to create the tables and the packages used in all are the same I don't know what could happen. This is my MWE:

Both tables have the same problem, but the second one has a difficult more: I try to add a column with text rotated 90º, but I don't know how to fit it for use the same colour scheme without cover with the colour part of that rotated column... if it is possible.

Thank you for posting a working example! At the same time, much of your code does not seem to be relevant to the question you're asking here. Please limit the example to code required for your issue to appear. You can have a look at the guide for how to minimalize your code. — Martin Schröder, Oct 30 '14 at 23:23

I have introduced some \kern in the first and last columns. To have rotated text over the color, I have moved \multirow to the last line with negative number of `rows like

\multirow{-2}{*}....

And last, I have used \cellcolor to fill just one cell at suitable places. If you don't want to color the entire first column that has multi rows, remove the \cellcolor{lightgray!20} from those cells like

\midrule
& $C_1$  & \SI{0.020}{[\mega\pascal]} \\
& $C_2$  & \SI{0.003}{[\mega\pascal]} \\
& $C_3$  & \SI{0.175}{[\mega\pascal]} \\
& $C_4$  & \SI{0.090}{[\mega\pascal]} \\
& $C_5$  & \SI{0}{[\mega\pascal]} \\
\multirow{-6}{*}{\rotatebox{90}{{\footnotesize Arteria}}}& $C_6$  & \SI{0}{[\mega\pascal]} \\
\midrule

Wow, it looks great, thanks a lot, \cellcolor was the option I need, let me study the code and apply it to my document. — Aradnix, Oct 29 '14 at 06:11
I included a new third table with problems, what do you suggest me in this case? — Aradnix, Oct 29 '14 at 10:09
@Aradnix By \rowcolors{5}{}{lightgray!20} coloring starts from rwo number 5. In your table row number 5 is starting with contents 0 & {-} & {-} & 1.00 & - \\. So every thing is working as per rule. If you want coloring to start from the row 4 & 4.10 & 10.9 & 0.32 & 193 \\ , use \rowcolors{9}{}{lightgray!20} since it is 9th row. Also better use braces around -. Hope I didn't miss anything. — , Oct 29 '14 at 11:08
line or row 5 is right for start colouring table, but when I try to use C or Y column type starts from row 1 instead of 5. That's strange. I'll add brackets to the dashes, thanks. — Aradnix, Oct 29 '14 at 20:04
@Aradnix I got it now. I think it deserves to be a separate question. As a short cut, you may be hiderowcolors and \showrowcolors from xcolor for the time being. — , Oct 29 '14 at 23:21
ok I'll post it as a different question later, thanks again. — Aradnix, Oct 30 '14 at 00:03

The environment {NiceTabular} of nicematrix have built-in tools to color rows, columns and cells and it is directly compatible with booktabs.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[per-mode=symbol]{siunitx}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{NiceTabular}{cS[table-format=4.4]}
\CodeBefore
  \rowcolors{2}{}{lightgray!20}

  $c_M$      & \SI{3.0}{[\kilo\pascal]} \

  $k_{2_M}$  & \num{0.8393} \

You need several compilations (because nicematrix uses PGF/Tikz nodes under the hood).

For the second table.
