How to fill complete browser

I have my site working (finally) and when you get to the site, it is a square centered in the browser. How do i get my screen to fill with a color in the whole background while my actual site part stays the same size? Am i clear on this? i am new at this so bare with me.
i just am looking to get the browser to have no white area around my whole design.

thanks
mike
