I am using CSS grids to design my website. However, when I added the background color (hoping that it will cover the entire grid) it only covered part of it in each grid item. This is the CSS grid structure I Was going for. I wanted each grid cell to be fully filledInstead of each cell being fully filled with color, it seems that only part of it is

I’m new to CSS grids so I’m open to ay suggestions.

  1. Maybe you added the grid inside that div which have a margin around it or maybe it is a container. So Ill suggest you inspect the code and check if there is any margin around it or not and give width full the parent div of the grid class.

  2. There are multiple solutions:
    You can add whole grid in one div or you can just give I’d to main grid then you can use background properties on that div.
