Did you copy and paste the html to a file and load it into a browser?

Here it is again, slightly amended, to make the three various locations
for bgcolor show off their differences, I hope more obviously.

<html><head></head><body>
<table bgcolor="red" cellspacing="16">
<tr bgcolor="green">
<td>
well,
</td>
<td bgcolor="yellow">
hello
</td>
<td>
world
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body></html>
