How can I make the background of a grid fill from top to bottom?

I have a grid area and I would like for that to be filled from top to bottom with the background green color:

    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="8*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="72*" />
            <RowDefinition Height="10*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

Here is Row 2 

        <Grid Grid.Row="2" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="Center" BackgroundColor="#EEEEEE">
            <Grid Padding="10,10,10,10" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                  BackgroundColor="Lime"/>     
        </Grid>

What I get with this code is a white area that's the correct size of the grid but there's just a small green line in the middle.

How can I make the grid fill completely?

You can create an AbsoluteLayout as a root. And put your background grid first on the AbsoluteLayout with full width and height. Then add your content on the same AbsoluteLayout as well.

The way to achieve this is to set Background attribute of tag "Grid" to your color of choice.

<Grid x:Name="phraseGrid" BackgroundColor="Green" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" Margin="0,20,0,0" RowSpacing="0">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="8*" />
        <RowDefinition Height="72*" />
        <RowDefinition Height="10*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <Grid Grid.Row="2" x:Name="buttonGrid" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="Center" BackgroundColor="#EEEEEE">
        <Grid IsVisible="{Binding ButtonGridVisible, Converter={StaticResource InverseBoolConverter} }" Padding="10,10,10,10" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" BackgroundColor="Lime">     
</Grid>
