Formatting to set background colour of entire cell (not just text part)

drmrbrewer I was also looking for a solution on this one, did you end up finding anything? The only thing I found that may be helpful for your purposes is by setting the minimum height as per this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59706211/change-background-color-of-a-column-in-a-sharepoint-list#:~:text=This%20is%20due%20to%20the%20min-height%20property%20set.,to%20make%20it%20fill%20out%20the%20whole%20cell. - which may work for your list if the item heights are moreorless static. Unfortunately I am trying to do this on a multi-line text column with text wrapping, the content for which varies significantly with each item.
