It's safer to set the properties for the h1 element, e.g.
h1 { color: #006; background: #fff; }
If you only set background for the enclosing div, then most of the time the
h1 will have a transparent background and things will be OK. But why take
chances when there is nothing to be won? Some day the page might be viewed
in a situation where some other style sheet affects it, too, possibly a user
style sheet, and that style sheet might set a background color, and even a
background image (that's why my example sets background and not just
background-image), and who knows what they might be?
Generally, always set color and background together.
