CSS:

div.red {
	background-color: red;
}

p.blue {
	background-color: blue;
}

It's not neccesary to employ "background-color"; just writting "background" will work because that it is a shorthand for background-color, background-image, background-size, background: position, background-repeat, etc.; it doesn't matter if one of the values are missing. So, "background: blue" it'll be a shorthand for "background-color: blue"; background: 100%, it'll be a shorthand for "background-size: 100%"; even you can use something like: "background: blue url("path_to_an_image")"; if the image is present, then the image will be showed, but if not, then the color blue will be displayed as background.
