I'd like to change that color to white. I tried setting the JTable's
background color to
white, [using the method setBackground(Color,WHITE)  ]  but that didn't
work.

Can anyone tell me which method to use to change that gray to white? 

Set the background color of the scrollpane's viewport:
   scrollpane.getViewport().setBackground(Color.RED);


Second question.

I have a second JPanel that I put Buttons into. The buttons are gray,
which is fine.
But the buttons themselves are on a gray background.

How do I change that background to white?

I guess my general question is: which methods control the color between
components?


setBackground(Color)
setForeground(Color)
setOpaque(boolean)

Some components are transparent (IIRC a JLabel) so setting background doesn't seem to have an effect, until you use setOpaque(true) on the component.
