Colour cells in a table in Google Sites

I found this trick out by accident today 'How to colour a cell in a table in Google Sites and Spreadsheet.' It will not work in Google Docs.

• Click in one cell and drag to the right to highlight all the cells you want to colour 

• Click on the Text Background Colour button

• Select a colour

• The cells will now be coloured
