To stretch a block color from top-to-bottom of a column in Webflow without using padding/margins, you can utilize the available layout options and take advantage of the flexbox properties. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Open your Webflow project and select the column element where you want to apply the stretched block color.

  2. Make sure that the column element has a defined height. If it doesn't, you can set a specific height or use flexbox properties to control the height.

  3. Set the column element's position to relative. This will ensure that any absolute-positioned elements inside the column will be positioned relative to it.

  4. Inside the column element, insert a div element that will act as the block color container. Make sure this div is a direct child of the column element.

  5. Select the block color container div and give it a class name or use the existing one.

  6. With the block color container div selected, go to the Styles panel and set its position to absolute. This will allow the block color container to take up the full height of the column element.

  7. In the Styles panel, set the top, right, bottom, and left positions of the block color container to 0. This will make sure that it covers the entire height and width of the column element.

  8. Next, set the background color of the block color container to your desired color.

  9. If you want the block color to have rounded corners, you can add the appropriate border-radius property to the block color container.

  10. Finally, make sure that any nested content within the column element is positioned correctly to avoid being covered by the block color container.

By following these steps, you will be able to stretch a block color from top-to-bottom of a column in Webflow without using padding or margins, creating a visually appealing design.

Example CSS

.block-color-container {  position: absolute;  top: 0;  right: 0;  bottom: 0;  left: 0;  background-color: #yourcolor;  border-radius: 10px;}

Note: It's important to note that while using this method, the block color container will cover any content within the column element. If you need to display content on top of the block color, you can use the z-index property to control the stacking order of the elements.
