CSS: Background
While we've been studying CSS, we've already encountered setting a custom color for text inside a block. But that's not the only option for setting a color - you can set it as the background for the entire block.
Note that the area with the theory and the editor in the lessons are separated from the rest of the site with a white background. This is done not only for easy reading, but also to help your eyes quickly find the area with the main content. To set the background color, we use the property background-color, the value of which is, of course, a color.
You can use hex values for the color:
<div class="card">A card with white text on a purple background</div>.card {
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #673ab7;
}
Instructions
Add <div> to the editor with the class set to background and set the background color #2196f3. Write styles in the <style> tag
Tips
You can select a color and get its
hexcode at HTML Color Codes
If you've reached a deadlock it's time to ask your question in the «Discussions». How ask a question correctly:
- Be sure to attach the test output, without it it's almost impossible to figure out what went wrong, even if you show your code. It's complicated for developers to execute code in their heads, but having a mistake before their eyes most probably will be helpful.

Your exercise will be checked with these tests:
const { test } = require('tests');
test(({ query, expect }) => {
const element = query(document, '.background');
const style = getComputedStyle(element);
expect(style).to.have.property('background-color', 'rgb(33, 150, 243)');
