 * Hi,
    I have created a child theme for the blue-grey-white theme and want to stop
   the child inheriting one of the table attributes?
 * The parent theme css has the following:
 * table, tr, th, td {
    margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; outline: 0; font-size:
   100%; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; }
 * I want to have different table background colors for different tables in my html
   so don’t want to set it at all in the CSS as I want to set them in the html of
   individual pages.
 * Is there a way to just clear the background attribute?
 * Thanks

 * If you view the page source you will likeky find that the table has a class or
   is inside a div that you can reference, then you can just add styles, inline 
   styles are not as efficient, so keep them to a minimum.
 * Style.css
 *     ```
       .entry-content table {
       	background: #f1f1f1;
       }
   
       .comment-content table {
       	background: #e0e0e0;
       }
       .post-133 .entry-content table {
       	background: #f1f1f1;
       }
       ```
   
 * Inline style HTML
 *     ```
       <table style="background:#e0e0e0;">
       ```
