Color text in a table

Just use

{\color{red}\begin{tabular}{cc}
a&b\\
1&2
\end{tabular}}

and the table will be red.

Do you thing on something like this:

\documentclass{standalone}
    \usepackage[table]{xcolor}

    \begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{>{\color{red}}c >{\color{red}}c}
    \hline
A   &   B   \\
C   &   D   \\
    \hline
\end{tabular}
    \end{document}

If you wish in red (or other selected color) entire table (with lines), than before table just put command \color{red}
