setSelectionBackGround() doesn't set color in jTable

Question

I think that the prepareRenderer(...) is causing the trouble. My code for jTable creation is :-

jTable1 = new javax.swing.JTable(){
public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column)
{
    Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);
    if(column==0){
        c.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(223, 223, 223));
        c.setForeground(new Color(121, 63, 63));
        c.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", java.awt.Font.BOLD, 12));
    }else{
        c.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(235, 235, 235));
        c.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", java.awt.Font.PLAIN, 12));

    }
    return c;
}
};

Now, when I use:-

    jTable1.setSelectionBackground(Color.BLACK);

it does not work. Any idea how to fix it?

EDIT: I tested the program after completely removing the prepareRenderer(...) method and the black selection could me made

Finally found out the solution...

public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column)
{
Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);
if(column==0){
    c.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(223, 223, 223));
    c.setForeground(new Color(121, 63, 63));
    c.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", java.awt.Font.BOLD, 12));
}else{
    setBackground(new java.awt.Color(235, 235, 235));//c.setBackground(..) was the problem
    c.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", java.awt.Font.PLAIN, 12));

}
return c;
}
