It's called "collapsing margins." Eric Meyer explains it, with an actual example very similar to yours. He even uses an orange background to illustrate it. :) <http://www.complexspiral.com/publications/uncollapsing-margins/> BTW - I got this link from the Wiki, although you'd have to know what the behavior is called! More references there, too. (Link to Wiki is below all messages.)
