If you need it, you write:
<table style="width:100%;border:2px solid #HEX;">

But what if I change theme later. Still no need for 100%?

And you're using outdated coding; these things don't work:
width="100%" border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
Your table should be like that:
<table style="border:2px solid #HEX;">
<tr>
<td style="text-align:center;background-color:#HEX;">
CONTENT HERE
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Replace HEX with the colors you prefer. Good palettes here:

If you wish to change the padding, you must add it to the td style.
Specifying a 100% width is superfluous, as it's the default in the theme you're using.

<td style="text-align:center;" bgcolor="orange">
use this:
<td style="text-align:center;background-color:orange;">
