Can't see anything there that would stop it displaying. Maybe include more of your code?

Could you post your entire HTML and CSS? or if it's too large could you post a codepen.io?

The colour isn't correct change to yellow; for example to see the banner. And then use a colour wheel to get the desired colour you want in Hex Decimal form. :)

The colour you had there was white hence why you probably see anything

Can you explain? I don't see how that would affect not seeing the div at all.
