Unleash CSS to escape the confines of Bootstrap's rows and columns and extend a background across the entire width of the browser

https://i.sstatic.net/sipAp.jpgI'm currently working on a complex Bootstrap-4 grid-layout and facing a challenge. I need to extend the background of a column from the left edge to the right edge of the browser window, without affecting the content within. Is there a way to achieve this seamlessly?

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col">
            <h2 class="font-weight-light">Hello!</h2>
            <p>
                This background should remain white.
            </p>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="row mybackground">
        <div class="col">          
            The red background should stretch across the entire browser width, while keeping the top and bottom areas with a white background.
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

https://jsfiddle.net/enu2vxdw/

In the fiddle provided, the background of < div class="mybackground" > should span from left to right (without any white padding on the sides), while maintaining the content as is.

Any suggestions on achieving this with minimal changes? Implementing a simple CSS class would be highly appreciated, considering the numerous places in the code where this modification is required.

Instead of inserting rows into a container, it's now recommended to use sections with containers.

For example:

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<section>
  <div class="container">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col">
        <h2 class="font-weight-light">Greetings!</h2>
        <p>This background should remain white.</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</section>
<section>
  <div class="container">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col">
        <h2 class="font-weight-light">Greetings!</h2>
        <p>This background should stay white.</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row bg-danger text-white">
      <!--div class="col"-->
        <div class="container">
          <div class="row">
            <div class="col">
              <p class="mt-3">The red background should fill ALL of the browser-width from left to right, but keep the area above and below with white background.</p>
            </div>
          </div>
       </div>
      <!--/div-->
    </div>
  </div>
</section>

The container-fluid can expand to full width. To center the content, you may need to add another container. There might be some nesting involved, which may not look ideal, but it's a Bootstrap technique that works well for responsiveness in terms of spacing.

This layout will adjust fluidly on different screen sizes.
