func tableView(tableView: UITableView, willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! GroupTableViewCell
        let randomColor = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(self.cellColors.count)))
        cell.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor(hexString: self.cellColors[randomColor])
    }

Answer 1

You need to delete this line

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! GroupTableViewCell

from your willDisplayCell function, because it already have your cell in parameters, and you just overriding it with new cell, and your new cell will be never used.

If you want to show colors in order, then you can use indexPath:

var cellColors = ["F28044","F0A761","FEC362","F0BB4C","E3CB92","FEA375"]
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    cell.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor(hexString: cellColors[indexPath.row % cellColors.count])
}
