make full col-md-2 screen's background color black

Question

I tried to make simple menu , my goal is to make full col-md-2 screens's background color black (like image - 1) , but when texts/radiobutton/etc. of menu ended , rest of the empty screen of col-md-2 took body's background color (in image - 2) not my div's background color . though I mentioned my <div>'s background color after my body's background color separately. Here is my code :

<!DOCTYPE html>

Add 100vh to your column and it should be 100% of the viewport. See this plunker.

Different Approach Work with min-height and height on your body tag. See this Question for details.
