The coloring Format is controlled by Field Styles which can be applied per table.
With User Preferences you control the Color Format(dot or full cell).
However i found a Script include which has to with the layout of the table list format.

Hello,
Modern cell coloring applies to list view rows, it add alternate colors to rows based on your current theme settings. You can activate it from the list gear icon option. when you uncheck modern cell coloring, the dot will be displayed.

Thank you ashh908
However I had previously read those posts. I may not have made myself clear. I am not asking how to switch modern colouring on or off. I am asking where it is configured.
That is, if I switch it on, how does the system decide which fields will be affected and whether a dot or the whole cell is coloured and how it determines which colours to display?
