So I have this table:

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
    <th style="width: 40%; text-align: center; vertical-align: center;">Nr.<br> crt.</th>
    <th style="font-weight: bold; width: 210%; height: 25; text-align: center; vertical-align: center;">Asistent</th>
    <th style="font-weight: bold; width: 210%; height: 25; text-align: center; vertical-align: center;">Ambulantier</th>
    <th style="text-align: center; vertical-align: center;">Ambulanta</th>
    @foreach($dates as $date)
    @if($date['day_name'] == 'S' || $date['day_name'] == 'D')
    <th style="width: 40%; text-align: center; vertical-align: center; font-weight: bold; color: red;">{{$date['day']}}<br> {{$date['day_name']}}</th>
    @else
    <th style="width: 40%; text-align: center; vertical-align: center; font-weight: bold;">{{$date['day']}}<br> {{$date['day_name']}}</th>
    @endif
    @endforeach
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
@foreach($interventions as $intervention)
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>{{$intervention->employee_one->name}}</td>
<td>{{$intervention->employee_two->name}}</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</tbody>
</table>

And this is what is generating:

As you can see, some numbers in the header have the red color. How can I color the WHOLE column with red if the respective <th> is also red?

I was thinking to use js, and it would look something like this (just an idea, not the actual code lol):

if(header(current_td).hasProperty('color: red')) {
   apply(color.red);
}

How can I do this?

You can make use of colgroup as such:

<style>
.red-background {
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<table>
  <colgroup>
    <col>
    <col>
    <col>
<col>

@foreach($dates as $date)
    @if($date['day_name'] == 'S' || $date['day_name'] == 'D')
<col class="red-background ">
    
    @else
<col>
  
    @endif
    @endforeach

  </colgroup>

<thead>
<tr>
    <th style="width: 40%; text-align: center; vertical-align: center;">Nr.<br> crt.</th>
    <th style="font-weight: bold; width: 210%; height: 25; text-align: center; vertical-align: center;">Asistent</th>
    <th style="font-weight: bold; width: 210%; height: 25; text-align: center; vertical-align: center;">Ambulantier</th>
    <th style="text-align: center; vertical-align: center;">Ambulanta</th>
    @foreach($dates as $date)
 
    <th style="width: 40%; text-align: center; vertical-align: center; font-weight: bold;">{{$date['day']}}<br> {{$date['day_name']}}</th>
    

    @endforeach
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
@foreach($interventions as $intervention)
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>{{$intervention->employee_one->name}}</td>
<td>{{$intervention->employee_two->name}}</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</tbody>
</table>

Rather than formatting each individual cell, colgroup allows you to apply formatting to a all the cells in a columns instead.

.highlight{
    background-color: #ffe8d4;
}

<table>
    <colgroup>
        <col />
        <col class="highlight" />
        <col />
        <col />
    </colgroup>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>A</th>
            <th>B</th>
            <th>C</th>
            <th>D</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>4</td>
            <td>3</td>
            <td>2</td>
            <td>1</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>1</td>
            <td>2</td>
            <td>3</td>
            <td>4</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

In javascript:

const trs = document.querySelectorAll('#table tr')
const ths = document.querySelectorAll('#table th')

for (let i = 1; i < trs.length; i++) {
  for (let j = 0; j < ths.length; j++) {
    if (ths[j].style.color == "red") {
      trs[i].children[j].style.color = "red"
    }
  }
}

<table id="table">
  <tr>
    <th>A</th>
    <th>B</th>
    <th style="color: red;">C</th>
    <th>D</th>
  </tr>

  <tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>4</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>4</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>4</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>4</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Using only JS with inline style, you can do something like this:


<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onload = () => {
        const ths = document.querySelectorAll('thead tr th');
        for (var i = 0; i < ths.length; i++) {
            if (ths[i].style.color === "red") {
                const trs = document.querySelectorAll('tbody tr');
                for (tr of trs) {
                    tr.children[i].style.color = "red";
                }
            }
        }
    }
</script>
