It shouldn't work -- that notation is invalid for HTML.  All HTML accepts is the
"#a1b2c3" notation and the 16 color names defined in the HTML specifications
("red", "green", "blue", etc.).  If you want to use "rgb(1,2,3)" notation,
you'll have to use CSS.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#h-6.5 and

As a further note, that same table cell is colored _purple_ in NS4 and black in
IE/Solaris...
