Change bgcolor of block

I'm trying to change the background color of my blocks.
Normally this is easy.

My blocks.html looks like this:

Code:

<table  width="170"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">


  <tr>


    <td>


<table width="170"  cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline">


  <tr> 


   <th width="170" colspan="2" height="22" nowrap="nowrap"><font class="block-title"><strong>$title</strong></font></th>





  </tr>


  <tr> 


   <td class="row1" width="100%"><font class="content">$content</font><br>


  </tr>


</table>


<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tbl">


<tr>


<td class="tbll"><img src="themes/iCGstation/forums/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="8" height="4" /></td>


<td width="100%" class="tblbot"><img src="themes/iCGstation/forums/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="8" height="4" /></td>


<td class="tblr"><img src="themes/iCGstation/forums/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="8" height="4" /></td>


</tr></table>


</td>


  </tr>


</table>


<br>

When I insert bgcolor='#0000FF' in the first or second table tag it results in green (!?!). #0000FF = blue.
I've tried with different colors but the blocks renders with the wrong color.

Anyone can help me with this strange behavior? Shocked

It could be overridden by a CSS in your theme. You might add a new class to the CSS and specify it in the block content, instead of using the bgcolor.
