That sounds like a PgAdmin issue, and probably because of the way that
their syntactic highlighting works. OWNER isn't a reserved word.
postgres=# CREATE TABLE owner (owner TEXT);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# \d owner
Table "public.owner"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
--------+------+-----------+----------+---------
owner | text | | |
