How to capture background tint in table

Hey there, I have a set of tables which use a background tint to indicate different characteristics for some of the data.

Is there a way the OCR can flag that some cells of the table have a darker background tint, which I can then reflect in the output data in some way (I'm expecting to add a suffix or something)?

I've been exepecting to have to manually annotate the data, but I'd rather automate and check...

    The conversion result saved to Excel will look like this:

    Thanks for the advice!
