html for columns and background color

what would be the html tag(s) to create a columned document with each column having a different color background? The columns are not even in width with the first column being about 2/3 and the second column being 1/3. Please give an example of how it would be used for inclusion in MS Access.

Also, what tags would be used to set the background colors and where do they appear in the html sequence?

Microsoft Access HTML

You can use colgroup to target columns, so you don't need a lot of detailed CSS with id or class specifications. This article covers the column options you can use.

I am testing the various ways presented and will need a few days to fully see which works best in Access

Question based on the above - does bgcolor (e.g. #CCFFCC) for a specific column remain until bgcolor is resent to say to another color (e.g. #FFFFFF)? Also, if two columns have different colors, does the bgcolor need to be repeated for each row tag?
