    Hey, I faced the same issue and was so agitated by it. This is what I tried.

    File ---> Account ---> Update Options (Dropdown next to Office Updates) ---> Update Now

    It took a while to search and update. Make sure all open files are saved as it asks to close them all. After the update, the issue has been resolved for me. Table properties and more colours are both working fine now.

    I hope this helps.

Milkatronare you using Language ID="en-gb" out of interest? I'm finding other issues with Outlook 2021...it crashes when I click on the "Signatures..." button in Mail settings. I found this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/outlook-freezes-when-selecting-the-signature-button-c70b36c2-66ca-401c-ab45-f29a46495d02 which suggests this problem happens only if you are using en-gb. I just wondered if our problem with tables is connected to the language being used?
