Background-color does seemingly not work for this dropdown css menu?

I used this dropdown code and it works fine, but I need to be able to change the background color of the menu, as well as a change to color when hovering above it. I tried changing the background color of it, but it has no effect on it, but the outline command does work. Seemingly it has something to do with a "float" but I've tried fixing it but to no avail.

* {
    background-color: black;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;

@font-face {

} 
.junebug {
    font-family: Kiona Regular;
    font-size: 4.2em;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: Emphasis Light;
    src: url('LT Emphasis Light.ttf');
}

.item1 {
    grid-area: header;
    height: 8vh;
    background-color: black;

I am not sure if this is what you want.

.has-dropdown .dropdown >div:hover{background-color:red;}

I am not sure what you are using tables for this when you can get this done using list element also?

@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
* {
    background-color: black;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}
@font-face {
    font-family: Kiona Regular;
    src: url('Kiona-Regular.ttf');
} 
.junebug {
    font-family: Kiona Regular;
    font-size: 4.2em;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: Emphasis Light;
    src: url('LT Emphasis Light.ttf');
}

.item1 {
    grid-area: header;
    height: 8vh;
    background-color: black;
    font-family: Kiona Regular;
    text-align: center;
    color: white;
    align-self: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    cursor:default;
    z-index: 2;
}

.title-text {
    text-shadow: 0 0 4px white;
    transition-property: text-shadow;
    transition-duration: 1s;
}

.title-text:hover {
    text-shadow: 0 0 11px white, 0 0 11px white;
}

.item2 {

The problem is that you're applying a black background color to all of the elements:

* {
    background-color: black;
}

This makes the items inside of the .dropdown, black so the background of the .dropdown is not visible. If you apply a padding: 5px to .dropdown you'll see that it has a white background. Remove this line and you're good.

I also recommend you check your CSS with a linter like CSSLint. There're some other problems in your code.
