Change background color on mouseover and remove it after mouseout

I have table which class is forum. My jquery code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('.forum').bind("mouseover", function(){
            var color  = $(this).css("background-color");

            $(this).css("background", "#380606");

            $(this).bind("mouseout", function(){
                $(this).css("background", color);
            })    
        })    
    })
</script>

It perfectly works, but is it possible to do it in more efficient way without var color = $(this).css("background-color");. Just after mouseout leave the previous background-color and remove #380606? Thank you.
