First things first - we need to understand what you really mean by this:

I want email sent with the above data in html table format and only if col3 values are less than 500, I want it's corresponding row highlighted in red color.

Could you give an example of what you want (even if it's some HTML)?

E-mail it only if the values are less than 500, or

highlight only the rows where the col3 value is less than 500?

Yes, highlight only the rows if the values if col3 values are less than 500.

Here is a very simple way of constructing a html table in T-SQL with the background definition you asked for

😎

USE tempdb;

GO

SET NOCOUNT ON;

DECLARE @HTMLSTR VARCHAR(MAX) = '';

DECLARE @SAMPLE TABLE

(

col1 VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL

,col2 CHAR(2) NOT NULL

,col3 INT NOT NULL

);

INSERT INTO @SAMPLE(col1,col2,col3)

VALUES ('Order1','AA',100)

,('Order2','BB',200)

,('Order3','CC',700);

SELECT @HTMLSTR = '<TABLE BORDER="0">' +

(SELECT

'<TR><TD bgcolor="'+ CASE WHEN S.col3 < 500 THEN '#FF0000' ELSE '#FFFFFF' END +'">' + S.col1 + '</TD>'

+ '<TD bgcolor="'+ CASE WHEN S.col3 < 500 THEN '#FF0000' ELSE '#FFFFFF' END +'">' + S.col2 + '</TD>'

+ '<TD bgcolor="'+ CASE WHEN S.col3 < 500 THEN '#FF0000' ELSE '#FFFFFF' END +'">' + CAST(S.col3 AS VARCHAR(9)) + '</TD></TR>'

FROM @SAMPLE S

FOR XML PATH('TR'),TYPE).value('.[1]','VARCHAR(MAX)')

+ '</TABLE>';

SELECT @HTMLSTR;

Results

<TABLE BORDER="0">

<TR><TD bgcolor="#FF0000">Order1</TD><TD bgcolor="#FF0000">AA</TD><TD bgcolor="#FF0000">100</TD></TR>

<TR><TD bgcolor="#FF0000">Order2</TD><TD bgcolor="#FF0000">BB</TD><TD bgcolor="#FF0000">200</TD></TR>

<TR><TD bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Order3</TD><TD bgcolor="#FFFFFF">CC</TD><TD bgcolor="#FFFFFF">700</TD></TR>

</TABLE>

Edit: fixed the output

It seems like you might want to consider doing this with a reporting tool rather straight out of sql server.
