[Tex/LaTex] Set two environments next to each other

aligntwo-column

How would I set two environments next to each other?

Lets say two tables.

I want to have something like this, where red is my page and blue one table and yellow the other. My scenario is that I have a chart on the left side (blue) and a legend on the right (yellow).

Two tabular environments will go next to each other by default, you need to put a \par or other forced line break to stop that. Looks like you want them to align on the bottom so

\begin{tabular}[b]{lll}
big table
\end{tabular}
\begin{tabular}[b]{ll}
small table
\end{tabular}
