# Background on columns

 * My question is simple, is it possible to add a colored background to for example
   a 1/3rd column.
 * I tried putting this in the main CSS
    .su-column-style-green { background: green}
 * And then tried
    [su_row style=”green”][su_column size=”1/3″ style=”green”] But
   both of those don’t work.
 * Can you help me out please.

 * Hi,
 * try to use next custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .su-row.green-row .su-column { background: green }
       .su-row.green-row .su-column .su-column-inner { padding: 1em }
       ```
   
 * with next shortcode:
 *     ```
       [su_row class="green-row"] ...columns... [/su_row]
       ```

 * I tried, I added the CSS to the stylesheets.css but nothing happened.
 * Shouldn’t it be .su_row in stead of .su-row?
    And also this would potentially
   change the bg color on all the columns and I want to be able to change the colors
   per column.
 * Thanks for you time in advance!

 * Ah I made a little mistake, got it working for all columns, I think I will be
   able to figure out single column colors, thanks!

 * Hi
 * Is it possible for the space in-between the columns to have the same background
   colour as the columns?
 * Thanks in advance

 * in doc:
    `[su_row class="grey"]`
