The `background` rule sets the background color of the widget.
## Syntax
```
background: <COLOR> [<PERCENTAGE>];
```
## Example
This example creates three widgets and applies a different background to each.
=== "background.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/background.py"
```
=== "background.css"
```sass
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/background.css"
```
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/background.py"}
```
## CSS
```sass
/* Blue background */
background: blue;
/* 20% red backround */
background: red 20%;
/* RGB color */
background: rgb(100,120,200);
```
## Python
You can use the same syntax as CSS, or explicitly set a `Color` object for finer-grained control.
```python
# Set blue background
widget.styles.background = "blue"
from textual.color import Color
# Set with a color object
widget.styles.background = Color.parse("pink")
widget.styles.background = Color(120, 60, 100)
```
