You should be looking for the second tr that has the td that equals ' Color Digest ', then you need to look at either the following sibling of the first td in the tr, or the second td.

Try the following:

//tr[td='Color Digest'][2]/td/following-sibling::td[1]

or

//tr[td='Color Digest'][2]/td[2]

html body table tbody tr 9  td 1   In Chrome  possible Safari too  you can inspect an element  then right click on the tag you want to get the xpath for  then you can copy the xpath to select that element

You can go for identifying a list of elements with xPath     td text       Color Digest    following-sibling  td 1    This will give you a list of two elements  than you can use the 2nd element as your intended one  For example   List lt WebElement gt  elements   driver findElements By xpath    td text       Color Digest    following-sibling  td 1       Now  you can use the 2nd element as your intended element  which is elements get 1
