No, bgcolor is correct, but I normally wouldn't put it in a <table> tag.
Instead, it is normally inserted in the <td> or <tr> tags. For example;
<table summary="Example" width="548" border="1">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#eeffee">
<p>
Text etc...
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
although bgcolor is a deprecated tag - CSS is preferred. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.1 for more on
this.
