Style Pandas Columns Separately

Question

I want to apply separate background gradient to different columns in my pandas dataframe

a b c
-----
1 2 3
4 5 6
9 2 3

I want one background gradient for column a and a different background gradient to another column as such.
How do I do that?
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

You can apply background_gradient to each individual column and compose multiple styles in a single call:

df.style\
    .background_gradient(cmap="cool", subset=['a'])\
    .background_gradient(cmap="bone", subset=['b'])\
    .background_gradient(cmap="winter", subset=['c'])
