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 |           |          |
