You can use a one pixel transparent gif, set the td bgcolor to whatever
strikes your fancy and resize the gif to your hearts delight. Sometimes you
can also just plop in the 1x1 gif, leave it at 1x1 and adjust your cell
width and height to whatever you want; you'll still get the bgcolor. This is
great for "unknown" width and height resizable cells - like cells in tables
that use percentages or in vertical cells that resize depending on how much
text is in a neighboring cell. Here's an example I slapped together:
