That is true, Blue, but a part of the original post that I didn't include in
my reply is:

  In the past, I've designed one table with a dark background color with a
  cellpadding of 1 and the put another table inside of that set to 100% width
  with a light (or white) background color to achieve this effect.

  I want to do it using CSS however to minimize the code.
