table styles and color contrast issues

I would like to hear any suggestions for appropriate table styles that would not pose colour contrast issues in office documents.
I have noticed that when specifying banding on rows or columns that color contrast issues abound.

Are there any styles that work better in this regard?
I notice sometimes that when saving as PDF, that the colors are often darker for column headers and row headers.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
Maybe tables should be as plain as possible.
Thanks
David
