Yeah the Red Mage tables were me seeing if a triple-change on the gradient looked good, but I agree - it's not subtle and hence impacts on the readability of the information. I've changed it to two shades of the original pink header.

I felt that empty cells were unnecessary, as it's additional code for no data. I've added them into those tables for now, so I can get a feel for how they look over a few weeks whilst I use the page.

I think my rationale there is that data tables are created with each row (record) having a column (field), whether that be zero-value or not. In these cases, blank cells or cells with '-' in them are suited.

However, when tables are used for the primary purpose of displaying information in an aesthetically pleasing way, I wouldn't raise the blank cells.

Now, what you consider the aforementioned JSE tables as is possibly another matter. Personally, I think that it would be appropriate for any 'data table' to be classified 'sortable', as that demonstrates the record/field relationship (whether that's practical in a given case, ie tables with one or two records, would determine whether it was appropriate). However, any that would never be sortable are hence geared toward display and so blank cells could be omitted.

Thanks very much for the feedback!
