Backgrounds
We will get more into styling backgrounds next topic with CSS, but for now, you can do basic styling using various background properties.
You can easily generate a pattern on your background by adding a small image (less than 150px or so) and the background-image: url() property.
A color fill can be created using the background-color: property. If you are familiar with rgb and hexcode values, you can add them after the colon (:), but if not, you can using English CSS color names, such as “white”, “orange”, and “black”. Check out the other color names on W3Schools.
NOTE: Like you did when styling tables, you can add a pixel amount to the padding: property within your chosen element. This can give cushion between the boundary of the container and the contents inside.
NOTE: Many structural elements can have background property values. If you have a busy page background, it is helpful to add a neutral background to a container (like a div) to keep your content legible and clean.
