HTML Need help with color difference in table

I have a table for the header of my web page and see a difference between 2 cells using an image for the gray shading. I need to separate the cells due to having buttons in the center.

Please view the image enclosed and see the slight difference within the circle.

Is there a fix for this?

Code using for the cells:

.tableCell {
	background-image: url(images/bar.png);
	background-repeat: repeat;

Does this occur on a simple test case? Did you happen to change the background-position CSS property?

Happens with all browsers and I don't think I changed the background position.

Using this code for each cell:
class="tableCell"

see code below:

<style type="text/css">
 #navbar ul { 
	margin: 0; 
	padding: 7px; 
	list-style-type: none; 
	text-align: center; 
	background-image: url(images/bar.png);
   	} 
 
#navbar ul li {  
	display: inline; 
	} 
 
#navbar ul li a {
	text-decoration: none;
	padding: .5em .5em;
	color: #fff;
	font-family:  ;
	font-size: 17px;
	font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;	
  
	} 
 #navbar ul li a:hover {
	color: #000;
	background-color: #fff;
	font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
	} 
 
table { border-collapse:collapse }
body {
