Output

This will produce the following output −

In the above example, we have set style for more than one column −

<colgroup>
<col span="3" style="background-color:gray;">
<col style="background-color:orange;">
</colgroup>

We have set the gray background color style for the first 3 columns above in the <colgroup> element −

<col span="3" style="background-color:gray;">

The rest of the column(s) is set to orange background color style −

<col style="background-color:orange;">
