CSS - Styling <col>'s

[Jeep Stone]

I've got the following HTML:

Code:

<table class="hampercontents">

<col></col>
<col id="quantities"></col>

<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Item 1</td>
<td>30cl</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Item 2</td>
<td>60cl</td>
</tr>

and I wish to style up the second column. However, my CSS below seems to have no effect.

Code:

table.hampercontents #quantities {
color: #81040A;
font-size: 14px;
}

Is this a correct implementation of <col>?
