Anything may work out when somebody programs it.

Emacs is mostly for text files. Enriched mode text contains text
properties. However, Emacs has also text properties built in. I do not
know if it may be saved in such way. I wish it could.

If you wish to present tables in colors you have options to generate
PDF files and HTML files, which can then hold table colors and other
text properties.
