How can I create a table like this in Latex?

I have tried but it didn't work. I need also that it is enumerated so that it appears in the List of Tables. It doesn't matter if it is not coloured, as long as the first two rows are bold.

begin{center}

begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c|c| } 

hline

 multicolumn{5}{|c|}{Number of cells per type} \

 hline



 a& b& c& d& e\ 

  hline

 44 & 39 & 7 & 32 &22 \ 



 hline

end{tabular}

end{center}

I suggest you to use booktabs for professional tables.

documentclass[11pt,openright]{book}

usepackage{array}

newcolumntype{C}{>{centeringarraybackslash}X}

renewcommand{arraystretch}{1.2}

usepackage{booktabs}

usepackage{tabularx}

usepackage{caption}



begin{document}

chapter{My chapter}

begin{table}[htb]centering

caption{Your tablelabel{tab:yourtab}}

begin{tabularx}{.5linewidth}{ |C|C|C|C|C| } 

hline

 multicolumn{5}{|c|}{bfseries Number of cells per type} \

 hline

 bfseries a& bfseries b& bfseries c& bfseries d& bfseries e\ 

  hline

 44 & 39 & 7 & 32 &22 \ 

 hline

end{tabularx}

end{table}

begin{table}[htb]centering

caption{My suggestionlabel{tab:mytab}}

begin{tabularx}{.5linewidth}{*5C} 

toprule

 multicolumn{5}{c}{bfseries Number of cells per type} \

 midrule

 bfseries a& bfseries b& bfseries c& bfseries d& bfseries e\ 

  midrule

 44 & 39 & 7 & 32 &22 \

end{tabularx}

end{table}

A mix-and-match with colors and using something as a starting point

documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor}

begin{document}

    listoftablesnewpage

    begin{table}[]

        begin{tabular}{!{color{cyan}vrule}l!{color{cyan}vrule}l!{color{cyan}vrule}l!{color{cyan}vrule}l!{color{cyan}vrule}l!{color{cyan}vrule}}

            arrayrulecolor{cyan}hline

            rowcolor[HTML]{38FFF8} 

            multicolumn{5}{!{color{cyan}vrule}l!{color{cyan}vrule}}{cellcolor[HTML]{38FFF8}Number of cells per type} \ arrayrulecolor{cyan}hline

            rowcolor[HTML]{38FFF8} 

            a            & b            & c            & d           & e           \ arrayrulecolor{cyan}hline

            1            & 2            & 3            & 4           & 5           \ hline

        end{tabular}

    caption{a}

    end{table}

end{document}

to get:

PS: Feel free to play with colors (I right now, do not have the necessary things to find out the colors) and I was lazy enough not to input your numbers (sorry ;-))

Don't mix-and-mismatch visual cues and metaphores: if you employ colored rows, don't employ horizontal rules. And, for sure, you can omit all vertical rules -- they're not needed.
