<table width="90%" align="center" bgcolor =(hexadecimal code referring to your background colour of choice!)> <tr><td align="left" valign="top"> PAGE CONTENT HERE …
Jump to PostJust for cuddlers89's information: You don't necessarily need a hexidecimal code for color, you can also use the color name for most basic colors like white red blue black green yellow orange; etc. :)

replace (hexadecimal code referring to your background colour of choice!)
with a hexidecimal value, such as
<body bgcolor = #FFFFFF>will produce a white background

You can also use style sheets:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
background: colour name or hex value;
}
for tables:
table {
background: colour name;
}
</style>
</head>You can also link to external style sheets.
