Nothing wrong with the color pallette; it works fine.

The appearance issues have been well covered and David has made a good
start on the technical. From a technical point of view, drop the xml
prolog, it's unnecessary unless the pages are being servedf as
applicaltion/ xhtml+xml. All this does otherwise is to throw IE into
quirks mode, which might explain some of the IE issues you hint at. Go
all the way and go for the strict; html would be fine.

Most importantly, this is not tabular data so why is it a table
layout? There is a certain inconsistency between proclaim xhtml
validity and using a layout antithetical to the spirit of xhtml. Your
table is rife with font tags. Why?

And there are lovely arcane debates which can be engaged in over the
use of strong versus a span. And the perpetual favorites about when
markup crosses the line between semantic and styling. Those are fun
but really not the issue of the moment.

Seriously, why tables? This is a pretty basic two column layout which
is easily managable with floats and em for width (centering is a piece
of cake). If you haven't already, check out some of the layouts on
position is everything http://www.positioniseverything.net Or ask
here. You know we aren't shy about helping.

That said, it looks good. I don't see the jumps but then eyes vary.
