<div .silver-background {
    background-color: silver;
  } >

This is not valid HTML.

To give you an idea on how to target classes on elements:

<elem class="className"><elem/>

to target that class you would do it like this in your CSS:

.className {
  // input style here
}

In your case, you need to target the div element with a class of silver-background, how would you do it?

i dont know ooo
i honestly have no idea

[xynoan]

Let’s do this step-by-step.

I want you to give the div element a class of silver-background, first.

For instance:
<elem class="className"></elem>

In your case, div is the elem, and silver-background is the className.
