 * So I thought I had the color done in my Primary Sidebar, but when I had text 
   to the body of the three column layout it extends the length of the page and 
   the Primary Sidebar color stops. Here is the code I have used.
 * Primary Sidebar:
    /* set full primary sidebar background */ .s1 { background:#
   f3fbc4 !important; }
 * Secondary Sidebar:
    /* set full secondary sidebar background */ .s2, .main { 
   background: #ffffff !important; }
 * Here is my website: [http://grangerwashington.org/](http://grangerwashington.org/)
 * What should I try?

 * Hi,
 * The sidebar height will only increase with added widget.
    You can try adding 
   a min-height to your sidebar.
 * Thank you.

 * [@jklarich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jklarich/) – the grey background
   extending below the sidebar content is due to the background image used by the
   theme. This CSS should fix it:
 *     ```
       /* remove primary sidebar background image */
       .main .main-inner {
           background: none;
       }
       ```
