Table with colored cells using dcolumn and overlays

Question

I found the very helpful question on how to add colors in a table using dcolumn here Colored text with dcolumn, but I would like to do the same thing using overlay such that the color only appears on the second slide. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Thank you so much for your help. This is the MWE, which does not have overlay:

And I was hoping something like this works, but it doesn't:

What do you mean by "overlay"? Are you looking for a change of background color, text color, or both? — A Feldman, Jun 19 '16 at 12:24

You had several unrelated errors in the table (mostly related to missing math markup and bad caption use). Once they are fixed the colour will just appear on the second layer if you use the normal beamer <2> syntax on the \color command.
