Well it's clearly stated in the specification
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#propdef-margin):

'margin'
Value: <margin-width>{1,4} | inherit
Initial: see individual properties
Applies to: all elements except elements with table display types other
than table-caption, table and inline-table

for sure but I don't think cellspacing is even deprecated.

Know for sure, visit the specifications. cellspacing is not deprecated.

is this just setting the parent's background color? i mean, you can't
set the margin's color of an element per se.

The parent's background color *is* the margin color.
