Child div doesn't inherit parent's div background-color

+5
−0

I have a parent div with two child divs. I want the parent div and the child divs to have a blue background color when it's hovered. But the child divs doesn't inherit the background color. It is only applied to the parent's div only. Does this have to be applied separatly per div? I have tried to use the <div style="clear:both;"></div> method, but that doesn't work for me.

CSS:

.h1{
  color: rgb(0, 238, 255);
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  padding-top: 25px;
}

*{
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  background: rgb(3, 28, 87);
}

.mainHeader {
  width: 100%;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  align-content: center;
  align-self: center;
}

.outsideClock{
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  vertical-align: middle;
  height: 100%;
  padding: 30vh;
}

#clock{
  height: 20vh;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  flex-direction: column;
  margin: 0px auto;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
}

.datetime{
  color: #ffffff;
  background-color: rgb(3, 28, 87);
  font-family: "Segoe UI", sans-serif;
  width: 338px;
  padding: 15px 10px;
  border: 5px solid hsl(207, 80%, 52%);
  border-radius: 5px;
  -webkit-box-reflect: below 1px linear-gradient(transparent, rgba(255,255,255,0.1));
}

.datetime:hover {
  background: hsl(207, 80%, 52%);
  box-shadow: 0 0 30px;
}

.date{
  font-size: 20px;
  font-weight: 600;
  text-align: center;
  letter-spacing: 2px;
}

.time{
  font-size: 60px;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

.time span:not(:last-child) {
  position: relative;
  margin: 0 6px;
  font-weight: 600;
  text-align: center;
  letter-spacing: 2px;
}

.time span:last-child {
  background: hsl(207, 80%, 52%);
  font-size: 30px;
  font-weight: 600;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  margin-top: 10px;
  padding: 0 3px;
  border-radius: 3px;
}

clear has nothing to do with colours (and, in particular, with transparency). It relates to layout and has to be understood in conjunction with float.
