Your syntax is correct. Well, is that EXACTLY what you put. Because that would give an empty cell. If you're trying to just make a box of a certain color, put an "&nbsp;" inside the cell. If you actually have some text in there, what you've done should have worked, and the problem must be that the color name or code you've given isn't valid.
