    My website is actually using a white background color. I created some color banners but when I add row gutters on this section, there are white blank spaces...
    Is it possible to apply a background color in row gutters?
    Thanks for your help!

      Dear @varina

      The Row gutters are Margin percentages that are applied to each row - If your 'Row Gutter' is set to 5% then each row will have a 'margin-bottom' of 5%.
      This unfortunately means that a row gutter is not a solid 'area' that can have a background colour applied to it.

      https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_margin.asp

      However from a design point of view there may be ways that you can trick this, one option being a 'border'
      https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp

      Here in this example i have set the row gutter to 0% but am using the border property to create a divide between rows - but the nice thing about a border is i can set a colour:

      To make things easier - in the Gridder layout i right-clicked the row and gave it a class using - Edit HTML class & ID.

      I set the class to 'border_row_one'.
      With that i applied the Custom CSS:

      .border_row_one {
          border-bottom: 50px solid aqua;
      }
      

      You can use other CSS unit than 'px' like 'VH' (viewport height)

      For more information on using Custom CSS within Lay Theme check out the documentation page:
      https://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-css-styling

      Hope this has helped point you in the right direction and have a wonderful day :)
