The first and last rows and columns of my Grids always seem to be smaller than all the other rows in my Grid, as of they had been truncated.

For example

Grid[Array[#1 + #2 &, {5, 5}],ItemSize -> {2, 2},BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Helvetica"},
       Background -> {
          {Green, Automatic, LightRed, Automatic, Green}, 
          {LightBlue, Automatic, Yellow, Automatic, LightBlue}}]

gives

in which all of the elements in the first and last rows are noticeably shorter, and all the elements in the first and last column are noticeably narrower, than all other elements.

Why does this happen and how can I prevent it?

    $\begingroup$ There are no spacings outside so Spacings -> {0, 0} should work. But I agree it's not what one would expect. $\endgroup$
