General ⇒ Command conflicts between "multicolumn" and "rowcolor"

[workerbee]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to shade a row in a table that uses the \multicolumn command. For instance:

...
\begin{tabular}[H]{ m{2cm} p{9.8cm} ...
\rowcolor[gray]{0.9}\color{black}\multicolumn{2}{l}{MODEL INDIRECT:}
...

I've found that when these commands are alone they work perfectly but an error always develops when I try and combine them. Any suggestions or feedback would be extremely helpful and appreciated. Thanks!
