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

It's because of this rule:
*{
background: rgb(3, 28, 87);
}
That applies the darker blue background to every element individually, and that isn't overridden when you change the background of a parent element.
Consider applying your default background color to the body element only.
