How to use variable inside table style for php email

Question

I'm trying to use a variable inside a table style for php email but I can't make it work, please help

$message .= '<table rules="all" style="background-color: {'$pnlclr1';}" cellpadding="0">';

From https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php: "_Note: Unlike the double-quoted and heredoc syntaxes, variables and escape sequences for special characters will not be expanded when they occur in single quoted strings._" — brombeer, Jun 06 '20 at 09:07

alternatively if you wrap the table tag in double quotes you can reference the variable without the need for concatenation

$message .= "<table rules='all' style='background-color:$pnlclr1' cellpadding='0'>";
