How to remove gray "border" on HTML buttons

Question

I see a border around the button on the HTML page. I'm trying to make one button blue and one green and place them on a table. code show as below:

<table align="center">
  <tr style=" font-family: verdana; font-size: 24px;">
    <th> Select your Region </th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="center">
      <button>
            <a id="cust" type="button" 
            style=
            "background-color: #00824A;
              border: none;
              color: white;
              padding: 16px 55px;
              text-align: center;
              text-decoration: none;
              display: inline-block;
              font-size: 16px;
              margin: 4px 2px;
              transition-duration: 0.4s;
              cursor: pointer;
              font-weight: bold;
              font-family: verdana"
            href="URL">
            US
            </a>
            </button>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="center">
      <button>
            <a id="cust" type="button" 
            style=
            "background-color: #0061D5;
              border: none;
              color: white;
              padding: 16px 55px;
              text-align: center;
              text-decoration: none;
              display: inline-block;
              font-size: 16px;
              margin: 4px 2px;
              transition-duration: 0.4s;
              cursor: pointer;
              font-weight: bold;
              font-family: verdana" 
            href="URL">
            EU
            </a>
            </button>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

This is how they appear on the web page:

I want the entire button to be that color with no gray around it. I removed the "border" with border: none in the style. Instead, it displays a color rectangle inside a larger gray button.

The

border is the button element itself, not the link within it. You need to style the button using

and remove the default border
