Change background color of featured products.

Hi all,
In my featured products module I would like to make the background white.
I have altered the featured.tpl to give the element an id but I cannot seem to target the product-thumb transition to change the background from transparent to white. If I do this:
#our_products .product-thumb{background-color: white;}

#our_products is recognized and becomes bold in the css editor and when I add .product this is recognized and is bold, but as soon as I add the hyphen (.product-) it reverts to regular font-weight.

Any suggestions?

I got around it by targeting the class within the featured.tpl file and writing the style into the html. But if anyone knows a way to do it through the custom css file than that would better.

If you want to change background all module(featured, latest, special, bestseller), you can edit

catalog/view/theme/your_theme/stylesheet/stylesheet.css
