Div Behaving Badly

I have a div on a slider page that is not living up to its CSS properties.  It's suppose to be 800px wide X 600px high.  Instead it looks to be about 50px wide and 25px high.  Also the it's suppose to be white and it is not.
The CSS

<style>
        #base {
			width:800px;
			height:600px;
			margin-top:100px;
			margin-left:auto;
			margin-right:auto;
			color:#FFF;
		}
		</style>
