I'm trying to make an "example page" of all the layouts (so one under the other) How do I place a grid wrapper under a flex container and not be shown in the same line? if I remove the display: flex it automatically goes under but flex remains in the same line.

And why do they both have the same salmon background color?

Thanks.

enter image description here

.flex-wrapper {
  display: flex;
  border: 5px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);
}

.flex-wrapper>div {
  padding: 20px;
  margin: 5px;
  background-color: salmon;
}


/* grid */

.grid-wrapper {
  display: grid;
  border: 5px solid purple;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 100px 100px;
  gap: 10px;
}

.grid-wrapper>div {
  padding: 20px;
  margin: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  background-color: aquamarine;
}

.box1 {
  grid-column: 2 / 4;
  grid-row: 1;
}

.box2 {
  grid-column: 1;
  grid-row: 1 / 3;
}

.box3 {
  grid-row: 2;
  grid-column: 3;
}

Just wrap the boxes of box in a container and put the add a flex-direction to column property in your flex-wrapper css class selector

.flex-wrapper {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  border: 5px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);
}

.flex-wrapper .box-container > div {
  padding: 20px;
  margin: 5px;
  background-color: salmon;
}


/* grid */

.grid-wrapper {
  display: grid;
  border: 5px solid purple;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 100px 100px;
  gap: 10px;
}

.grid-wrapper>div {
  padding: 20px;
  margin: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  background-color: aquamarine;
}

.box1 {
  grid-column: 2 / 4;

  grid-column: 1;
  grid-row: 1 / 3;

why do they both have the same salmon background color?

Because .flex-wrapper > div applies to every div that's an immediate child of flex-wrapper.

How do I place a grid wrapper under a flex container and not be shown in the same line?

You could add a flex-wrap rule to your flex-wrapper and set the grid item to be wide enough to wrap, as in the example below, but you might consider whether your outer container should be a grid instead of flex. You'd have more control that way.

.flex-wrapper {
  display: flex;
  border: 5px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);
  flex-wrap: wrap; /* <=== */
}

.flex-wrapper>div {
  padding: 20px;
  margin: 5px;
  background-color: salmon;
}


/* grid */

.grid-wrapper {
  display: grid;
  border: 5px solid purple;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 100px 100px;
  gap: 10px;
  flex: 1 1 100%; /* <=== */
}

.grid-wrapper>div {
  padding: 20px;
  margin: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  background-color: aquamarine;
}

.box1 {
  grid-column: 2 / 4;
  grid-row: 1;
}

.box2 {
  grid-column: 1;
  grid-row: 1 / 3;
}

.box3 {
  grid-row: 2;
  grid-column: 3;
}
