You can fiddle about to solve this problem (there are border
solutions, faux background solutions and a few other ways if the
very best and most direct of all ways is unpalatable to you,
namely a table with 2 columns) but it is often more trouble than
it is worth.
If you want the menu colour to extend to the bottom, put that
colour into body. If you want the content to be white
backgrounded, say so in content css. The scheme is simple and has
a logic, all the content is plain to see as an entity, white
backgrounded, every thing else is menu or footers. As for borders
in this scheme, you can put a border all around the content. A
smidgeon of right margin on the content also often looks nicer.
