table shading not working

I'm using Office/Word 2013 on a PC. When I insert a row, the row is already shaded. Commands to shade any other color do not work, nor does clearing the shading. I tried it with another table, in a different document - new rows inserted in that table begin as clear/no shading, and shading commands work fine. Obviously I'm missing something, but what?

OK, I figured it out.... thanks - your suggestion pointed the way. I have tracking turned on, and inserting a new row not only changes the text color, but adds a background/shading to tables.  The rows are actually clear, but they appear to be shaded, because they are new. Thanks again
