public class CustomCellRenderer{
  JTable table;
  TableColumn tcol;
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  new CustomCellRenderer();
  }

  public CustomCellRenderer(){
  JFrame frame = new JFrame("Creating a Custom Cell Reanderer!");

  String data[][] = {{"Vinod","Computer","3"},

  String col [] = {"Name","Course","Year"};
  DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data,col);
  table = new JTable(model);
  tcol = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
  tcol.setCellRenderer((TableCellRenderer) new CustomTableCellRenderer());
  tcol = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(1);
  tcol.setCellRenderer((TableCellRenderer) new CustomTableCellRenderer());
  tcol = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
  tcol.setCellRenderer((TableCellRenderer) new CustomTableCellRenderer());
  JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
  header.setBackground(Color.yellow);
  JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(table);
  panel.add(pane);
  frame.add(panel);

  frame.setUndecorated(true);
  frame.getRootPane().setWindowDecorationStyle(JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG);
  frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  frame.setVisible(true);
  }

  public class CustomTableCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer{
  public Component getTableCellRendererComponent (JTable table, 
Object obj, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
  Component cell = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(
   table, obj, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);

  if (isSelected) {
  cell.setBackground(Color.green);
  } 
  else {
  if (row % 2 == 0 ) {
  cell.setBackground(Color.cyan);
  }
  else {
  cell.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
  }
  }
  return cell;
  }
  }
}

Answer 1

but i want to set cyan color to row only if year column (value of year) equals to certain value

Don't use individual renderers. Instead you can use the approach found in Table Row Rendering .

Answer 2

You can do it simply as in CustomTableCellRenderer class

TableModel model = table.getModel();
String colYear = model.getColumnName(2);
int colYearValue = Integer.valueOf((String) model.getValueAt(row, 2));

if (colYearValue == 3) {
    cell.setBackground(Color.cyan);
} else {
    cell.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
}
