Creating a color block section

In general I'd start by trying image blocks using the Stack design. Then I'd probably try some CSS to color the backgrounds.

If that didn't work out I'd try to set up a page section with the content divided up into columns using a mix of image and text blocks. SS uses a 12 column layout.

This worked, but is there a way to get them all to be the same height/fill the full vertical space of the container?

Remove height 800px code & use this new code

<style>
  [data-section-id="60dda2258ae2570c0c0fc1ea"] .content-wrapper {
    padding: 0 !important;
    max-width: 100%;
}
  html, body {overflow-x: hidden;}
 div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1625137690367_11288>div {
    display: flex;
    align-items: stretch;
   flex-wrap: wrap;
}
  .box1, .box2, .box3, .box4 {
    width: 25%;
    text-align: center;
}
  .box1 h2, .box2, h2, .box3 h2, .box4 h2 {
    margin-top: 5px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    font-size: 1.5rem !important;
}
  /* box 1 */
  .box1 {
    background: #122050;
}
  /* box 2 */
  .box2 {
    background: #5c6c7e;
    margin-top: 0;
}
  /* box 3 */
  .box3 {
    background: #7aa2b9;
}
  /* box 4 */
  .box4 {
    background: #7aa2b9;
}
  @media screen and (max-width:991px) {
  .box1, .box2, .box3, .box4 {
    width: 50%;
}
  }
  @media screen and (max-width:767px) {
  .box1, .box2, .box3, .box4 {
    width: 25%;
}
  }
</style>

Thanks! Last question, how do I get the content to be centered in the color block?
