Cell fill colors overlapping

Has anyone had this problem where two column color fills side-by-side seem to visually overlap? Of course this view changes at certain magnification in both indesign and an exported PDF file, but there's no control over how a viewer views this when downloaded from the web. Other than inserting an extra row between the two or stroking the right of the blue cell (which interferes with a stroke above it), is there any other setting or tool that provides gap easily? (I have to correct this issue on tables on nearly 60 data sheets for a client.)

I do not think you can avoid this issue.

At least not within a single table.

See screenshot from Acrobat Pro where at 144% zoom the problem is evident:

What can be done to avoid this is a tedious workaround where two tables are stacked.

The bottom one has the horizontal rows with the applied fill color and no black text, the top table stacked on this one has fill color None with the cells that have the black text:
