How will search engines see this

afraid of being black listed.

Hi,

I use the following to create a table with a thin border separating the cells.

<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" bgcolor="#003366">
  <tr> 
   <td class="sectitles">&nbsp;My title text</td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
   <td class="sectext" bgcolor="#dce8fa">My content text
   </td>
  </tr>
  </table>

Basically you've got darkblue for the borders lighter blue for the title cell and even lighter blue for the content cell.

Now if I write in the content box using the same color as the bg table will SE (google especially) pick up the different colors or will they think it's blue on blue text hence penalizing the site?

I don't use CSS because the css borders of the cells are too big (twice the size because it does a border for one cell and the next hence two borders one against the other)

If it will pass a hand check then you should be fine. There are far too many ways to twist colors around with tables and css etc to efficiently and accurate filter for it algorithmically.
