Hello. I got one problem. I can not set the background color for the gallery (where the photos are) properly. Here is my project from the WorkSpaces:

I would be really happy if some one helped me :) Thanks!

1,346 PointsHi. I want all the background behind the heading (Gallery) and the photos where its color is white now, to be light purple like on the top of the page.
I tried set the background color for the div with id "photo", but it only colors the background of headind "Gallery".

I would be inclined to think that the issue you're having is related to the fact that some of the elements within the div with the id of "photos" are floated, removing them from the normal flow of the document.
The reason the background of the title is being coloured is because all title elements such as H1, H2, H3 etc will display as a "block" by default.
Try looking into "clearing" floated items as I think this may help.

1,346 PointsHi. Thanks. But when I remove floating, all of the photos are displayed in one column, but then background color is displayed. How can I organise photos to two columns and make the background colored?

7,102 PointsIn the CSS Foundations course you will find a module called "The Box Model". Work through those lessons and you will learn about why floated elements behave in the way that they do and how to deal with "clearing" them.

Do you want a background color for the entire gallery, or a background color for the items within the gallery?
For background color for entire gallery I would try applying css to the section or div tag containing the gallery elements. Then style appropriately using css to be full width, or the appropriate style you are after.
