In FrontPage, you right click on the table, select Cell Properties and there's a Background Colour option.

If you're not using FP, WHY NOT? heh heh

this is the html that FP created to make a three column, 2 row table with one cell coloured red:

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber1">
<tr>
<td width="33%" bgcolor="#FF0000">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="33%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="34%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="33%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="33%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="34%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
