Next time, please link to the page you're testing/using the table on for faster assistance. I assume User:AtoneTheMage/Armors this is the relevant page, yes? I see that you've been experimenting with code in the second table, so I've taken the liberty of updating the first table's look; please feel free to change it back or change it from there.

This is the wikitext customization I'm seeing for the first table prior to editing it:

{| class="wikitable" style="border: 1px solid white; text-align: center;"
 * - style="background: #181c18;"

Here is my change:

{| class="wikitable" style="border: 1px solid white; color: white; text-align: center;" Is that what you want? I personally advise against white text on light background (referring to body of table). Go ahead and check the page to see what it looks like post-my edit.
 * - style="background: #181c18;"

By the way, regarding your experimental code for the second table...

class="wikitable" style="width:700px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align: center; style="color:white;"
 * - style="background: #181c18;"

The reason this "overrides the center-align" is because the wikitext is incorrect. You've added one too many styles with. If you remove  to make it:

class="wikitable" style="width:700px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align: center; color:white;"
 * - style="background: #181c18;"

--the results will be closer to what you want, I should think.

Edit: If the look of this table (i.e. background and text colors used, etc) is something you want to apply to all tables, then you could consider customizing the table class .wikitable. If you plan to use this design for only some tables (e.g. tables intended to be used on Armor/Armor-related pages or the like), then you could still consider creating a custom armortable class for convenience's sake.

Edit x2: Whoops, sorry Upn; when I started writing my response, no one else had replied yet. I always take too long.
