Hi,
You can also use color gradients for background.
Example:
background: linear-gradient(top left, #1f1, #fff, #11f);

Great point CoursesWeb. I have used the gradient background several times. I wish all browsers supported it. It is a lot of extra work to make sure things are backwards compatible.
