title: Change background color of specific section
body: <p>I have an HTML home page and what I would like to change a section of a page to a different color, the issue i am facing is that i want the color to the entire page. Here is an example of what i want to achieve: <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/6gFbi.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/6gFbi.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>The code I tried here doesn't seem to change the entire page background color for the <code>div</code> tag</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>body {
    background-color: coral;
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;h1&gt;The background-color Property&lt;/h1&gt;
  &lt;div style="background-color:lightblue"&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The background color can be specified with a color name.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
