this is why too, when you have to get down and dirty, you can do things like
this:
<td class="some_class" style="background-color : '#dddddd';">

the class from the style sheet will be applied first,
then the style declaration will modify that class

order of the attributes in your HTML doesn't matter
(i keep them like above so as to not get confused!)
