Here is what I have achieved so far:

I am struggling to apply spacing between the two divs, and they are not of equal height.

My HTML:

            <div class="container - fluid">
                    <div class="row" id="wrapper">
                        <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8" id="columneone"> 
                            <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p>

                        </div>

                        <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4" id="columnetwo">
                            <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p>

                    </div>
                    </div>
                </div>

My CSS(I'm using Less):

#columneone{background-color:@deepblue !important; color:white !important;}
#columnetwo{background-color:@lightblue !important; color:white !important; }
#wrapper{margin-right:-173px; margin-left:-173px; padding-top: 10px}

Answer №1

Exploring Bootstrap's Grid documentation can shed light on why your initial design lacked gutters between background colors. Additionally, it offers various ways to enhance your previous attempt.

Utilizing Bootstrap 4 introduces a plethora of new utility classes and the flexbox grid system to help achieve the desired outcome.

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row row-eq-height">
  
    <div class="col-8">
      <div class="bg-dark h-100 p-3">
        <p class="text-white">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div class="col-4">
      <div class="bg-secondary h-100 p-3">
        <p class="text-white">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

      </div>
    </div>
    
  </div>
</div>

To customize the color scheme, make adjustments to the .bg-* classes provided by Bootstrap.
