Firstly, don't use inline code like that, it's seriously outdated to do it that method, and it also fails the new standards for web programming. Use CSS files instead.
But to answer your question using your method, to change the color of a table, you need to use the "bgcolor" attribute for table.
| Code: | <html>
<head><title>asdf</title></head>
<body>
<table bgcolor="#333333">
<tr>
<td>Table Cell</td>
</tr>
</table>
<body>
</html> |

what do you mean inline code?
Also to change the text of the table would it be <table font color="#">
Also how do I put music into a page? or is that out of HTML's reach? |

By inline I ment inline tag code. Using things like <table bgcolor="#colorcode">
Instead you should use CSS files and use the style, class, and id tags. Along with that tables are outdated, you should use divs instead. (I would suggest sticking to tables if you are new though.)
To change the font color use:
| Code: | | <table style="color:#ffffff"> |
And yes, HTML can use music, it's called embedding.
Check this site for info on how to do it:

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet, it's a file that holds the template settings of your page that you will use later on. A small example of how to use one would be like this:
In your HTML file (index.html for this):
| Code: | <html>
<head>
<title>A CSS Example :)</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<p>Some example text.</p>
</body>
</html> |
The line:
| Code: | | <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> |
Includes our CSS file. Next you have your CSS file. For this example I have named it style.css (so make a new text file and rename it to .css or use an editor of your choice)
And our code for the css file is:
| Code: | HTML, BODY
{
background-color: #cccccc;
}
p
{
font-family: "Terminal";
color: #ff0000;
} |
Our CSS file tells the HTML to set the background color of the page to #cccccc (grey) and anytime someone uses the <p> tag, it will be set to use Terminal Font and the font color will be red. |

inline has its use when BOTH of those apply:
1. When you aren't bothered to make another file which may as well get lost when you transfer the html
2. When you are using that style no more than once
overall a CSS file is better on a web domain
