I have this screen currently:

I want to add a background-colour of blue to the div class="information" (the entire div element on the right), the same way how there is a background-colour of brown to the div class="login" (the div on the left). However, when I try to use the same approach as I did for the right div as I did for the left div, it isn’t working. How can I achieve the expected?

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Lora&display=swap');
body {
  background-color: #DBE2EF;
  font-family: Lora;
}

.login {
  padding: 10px;
  background-color: #A4907C;
  width: 500px;
  text-align: center;
  margin-top: 130px;
  margin-left: 180px;
}

.logintxt {
  padding-top: 15px;
}

.loginemailtxt {
  border: 1px solid black;
  width: 250px;
  height: 30px;
  margin-top: 20px;
  outline: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
  font-family: Lora;
}

.loginemailtxt::placeholder {
  color: black;
  padding-left: 3px;
}

.loginemailtxt:focus {
  border: 1px solid #3F72AF;
}

.loginpwdtxt {
  border: 1px solid black;
  width: 250px;
  height: 30px;
  margin-top: 50px;
  outline: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
  font-family: Lora;
}

.loginpwdtxt::placeholder {
  color: black;
  padding-left: 3px;
}

.loginpwdtxt:focus {
  border: 1px solid #3F72AF;
}

.loginbtn {
  width: 120px;
  height: 40px;
  border-radius: 10px;
  margin-top: 150px;
  margin-left: -190px;
  background-color: #3F72AF;
  border: none;
  cursor: pointer;
  position: fixed;
  font-family: Lora;
}

.loginbtn:hover {
  background-color: #068FFF;
}

#loginNoEmail {
  position: fixed;
  background-color: #F24C3D;
  margin-left: 140px;
  margin-top: 15px;
  width: 215px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  visibility: hidden;
}

#loginNoPassword {
  position: fixed;
  background-color: #F24C3D;
  margin-left: 145px;
  margin-top: 105px;
  width: 205px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  visibility: hidden;
}

#loginIncorrectCreds {
  position: fixed;
  background-color: #F24C3D;
  margin-left: 145px;
  margin-top: 105px;
  width: 205px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  visibility: hidden;
}

.infoHead1 {
  margin-top: -500px;
  margin-left: 915px;
}

.infoHead2 {
  margin-left: 815px;
  background-color: yellow;
  width: 340px;
  padding-left: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

Your layout is misconfigured, you shouldn’t place all items with position: fixed. Your design is broken when the window size changes. Use relative positioning and also i suggest you to learn flexbox.

When you succeed creating a well layout you won’t need to specify height and width for container it should auto-scale with its content.

I will provide a code snippet with a well designed flexbox you may try similar things:

/*
* BEGIN
* UTILITY CLASSES
* (YOU MAY USE PRIMEFLEX, TAILWIND OR BOOTSTRAP FOR UTILITY CLASSES)
* /BEGIN
*/

.flex-col {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

.flex-row {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
}

.flex-wrap {
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.center-content {
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

.gap-2 {
  gap: 2rem;
}

.h-full {
  height: 100%;
}

/*
* END
* UTILITY CLASSES
* /END
* 
*/

.box {
  width: 500px;
  height: 500px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  padding: 1rem;
}

.bg-brown {
  background-color: burlywood;
}

.bg-blue {
  background-color: skyblue;
}

.bg-red {
  background-color: red;
}

.icon {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
}

your layout is a… mess!
I would suggest you to learn a little about css grid, check here :
https://www.quackit.com/css/grid/tutorial/css_grid_introduction.cfm

I made a snippet with grid, and simplify a lot your layout. Functional, but could still be more simplify

*,
*:before,
*:after {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  background-color: #DBE2EF;
  font-family: Lora, sans-serif;

  height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
  grid-template-rows: 1fr;
  gap: 2em;
  max-width: 80%;
  max-height: 80%;
}

.container h2 {
  margin: 1em 0;
}

.login {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: repeat(8, auto);
  padding: 1em 3em;
  background-color: #A4907C;
}

.login>* {
  text-align: center;
}

.login input {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  padding: 0 0.5em;

.loginemailtxt {

  border-radius: 5px;
  margin: 1em 0 2em 0;
