bgcolor=""
This attribute sets the background color of a single cell if used with <td> and it sets the background color of the whole row if it is used with <tr>. It can take the color value as Hex or one of the color names available here.

<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" border="5" width="100%"> 
   <tr>
     <th>Name</th>
     <th>Age</th>
   </tr> 
   <tr>
     <td align="left">Mr. A--Left aligned</td>
     <td align="right">10 Years--Right aligned</td>
   </tr> 
   <tr>
     <td align="center">Mr. B--Centered</td>
     <td bgcolor="pink">20 Years</td>
   </tr> 
   <tr bgcolor="#FF0000">
     <td>Mr. Z</td>
     <td>60 Years</td>
   </tr> 
</table>

This HTML will be displayed as:

Name	Age
Mr. A--Left aligned	10 Years--Right aligned
Mr. B--Centered	20 Years
Mr. Z	60 Years

Tables can also be nested by adding <table> and </table> tags within <td> and </td> tags of the enclosing <table>.

<table>

<table>
<tr><td>first nested table</td></tr></table>

You can make your tables as complicated as you want. But remember to make them as complex as you can easily handle.
