I have simple UITableView with

backgroundColor = .clear
tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView
tableView.refreshControl = UIRefreshControl()

and I have viewController.view.backgroundColor = .red

The question is: how can I achieve insertRows or deleteRows animation without having red background under newly inserted cells (cause new cells are invisible at start)?

I cannot set tableView.background = .red cause refreshControl area also becomes red. I don’t need that.
