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.
