Is it okay to style a <section> tag or should I nest a <div>?

Question

I want to know what is the best or common practice in a case like the following:
I'm using a section tag to target a cards section on my page, but is it okay if I give it a class and maybe style it's background, set some padding, etc...? or should I nest a div within the section and start the styling from there?

<section id="cards-section" class="pink-background">
<h1>...</h1>
<p>...</p>
</section>

<section id="cards-section">
<div class="pink-background">
<h1>...</h1>
<p>...</p>
</div>
</section>

Answer 1

Yes, Its totally fine to style the section.

You can also style both the section and the inner div, no problems whatsoever
