It would be initialization by the ApplicationModel subclass that is defining the windowSpec. Common methods to override for configuration would be #initialize, #postBuildWith:, or #postOpenWith:. A common way is to use lazy-initialization to avoid having to think about initialization sequence. Look at code that references TableInterface for ideas.
The last time I tried using a table widget was eight years ago. I think I'd discovered it wasn't flexible enough to do what I needed so I converted code of that window to use a dataset instead. None of the code that I maintain uses a table, but datasets are used everywhere. Perhaps a table is exactly what you need, but it is a widget option that I no longer even notice and I never knew of a benefit for using a table.

I presume that you'd use an IndexedAdaptor as aspect model of each column.

I don't think there is an common way to do cell-level color configuration. I had modified DataSet* classes to be able do that. I shared those changes with this forum on 2012.11.09 in hope that Cincom might use it or create their own way to do it. I recall James Robertson had responded that he had also made modifications to add fuctionality like that. With any luck the functionality is now part of newer releases, but I doubt that is the case.
A dataSet (or table) is overkill for what it sounds like you are attempting. If you need cell-level display control and you aren't likely to vary from a 4x4 grid then it is probably better to position 16 widgets in a grid pattern. You'd have more control over each cell/widget than you would have with a cell that is deep in generic table or dataset code.
