How can apply multiple background color to one div

by

The A div can actually be made without :before or :after selector but using linear gradient as your first try. The only difference is that you must specify 4 positions. Dark grey from 0 to 50% and ligth grey from 50% to 100% like this:

background: linear-gradient(to right,  #9c9e9f 0%,#9c9e9f 50%,#f6f6f6 50%,#f6f6f6 100%);

As you know, B div is made from a linear gradient having 2 positions like this:

background: linear-gradient(to right,  #9c9e9f 0%,#f6f6f6 100%);

For the C div, i use the same kind of gradient as div A ike this:

background: linear-gradient(to right,  #9c9e9f 0%,#9c9e9f 50%,#33ccff 50%,#33ccff 100%);

But this time i used the :after selector with a white background like if the second part of your div was smaller. * Please note that I added a better alternative below.

Check this jsfiddle or the snippet below for complete cross-browser code.

div{
    position:relative;
    width:80%;
    height:100px;
    color:red;
    text-align:center;
    line-height:100px;
    margin-bottom:10px;
}

.a{
    background: #9c9e9f; /* Old browsers */
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(left,  #9c9e9f 0%, #9c9e9f 50%, #f6f6f6 50%, #f6f6f6 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, color-stop(0%,#9c9e9f), color-stop(50%,#9c9e9f), color-stop(50%,#f6f6f6), color-stop(100%,#f6f6f6)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */

    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr="#9c9e9f", endColorstr="#f6f6f6",GradientType=1 ); /* IE6-9 */
}

.b{
    background: #9c9e9f; /* Old browsers */
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(left,  #9c9e9f 0%, #f6f6f6 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, color-stop(0%,#9c9e9f), color-stop(100%,#f6f6f6)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */

    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr="#9c9e9f", endColorstr="#f6f6f6",GradientType=1 ); /* IE6-9 */
}

.c{    
    background: #9c9e9f; /* Old browsers */
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(left,  #9c9e9f 0%, #9c9e9f 50%, #33ccff 50%, #33ccff 100%); /* FF3.6+ */

}
.c:after{
    content:"";
    position:absolute;
    right:0;
    bottom:0;
    width:50%;
    height:20%;
    background-color:white;
}
<div class="a">A</div>
<div class="b">B</div>
<div class="c">C</div>

There is also an alternative for the C div without using a white background to hide the a part of the second section.
Instead, we make the second part transparent and we use the :after selector to act as a colored background with the desired position and size.

See this jsfiddle or the snippet below for this updated solution.

  position: relative;
  width: 80%;
  height: 100px;
  color: red;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 100px;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}
