Change Background Color With CSS Based On ID or Class

You can either put this in a style tag or assign it in a CSS file and link it to the HTML file. If it’s for a website built in a CMS, then there properly is a place where you can write in custom CSS.
For this demonstration, I am using the style tag for the CSS.
You need to assign the HTML elements classes or ID if they do not already have that.
CSS
ID = #
Classes = .

<style>
.box{
height:100px;
width:33%;
}
.redbox{
background-color:red;
}
.bluebox{
background-color:blue;
}
#greenbox{
background-color:green;
}
</style>
<div class="box redbox"> </div>
<div class="box bluebox"> </div>
<div class="box" id="greenbox"> </div>
