Create colored bounding box for content

Site URL: https://www.kremington.com

I'm using the blank template and would like to create a colored bounding box around my content, like you see with many other websites. For example, these two seen here:

(https://www.mikechenbooks.com/ and https://www.cgpgrey.com/)

My website is kremington.com (very underdeveloped at the moment). I'm wondering how I might best set something like this up. I don't need anything fancy like background images or transparency, just a solid single-color bounding box (I'm sure there's a more official name than that). 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try adding to Home > Design > Custom Css

section[data-section-id="6193328782fcf92d7a4532ab"] .content-wrapper .content {
  background: rgb(197,183,154,0.34);
  padding: 20px 20px;
}

Try adding background on you section and apply the above code.

Copy this code and change section[...] when you want to apply on another section

Hope it can help you

That definitely works, thanks! A couple of questions:

1. Is there a way to make it so that this applies to all sections by default, so that it doesn't need to be applied to each section manually? 
2. If not, what is the best way to find the section id? (e.g. data-section-id="6193328782fcf92d7a4532ab"). 

Pardon the ignorance; appreciate the help!
