I want the main tag not to be affected by the margin

I’m trying to put a second background on my site using the main tag, but I wanted the background to stay next to the text on the sides
(without this empty space of margin, in the case of this space in pink in the image below)

^{click on the image to view it in its original size}

h1 {
  width: 50%;
  margin-left: 350px;
  font-size: 28;
}

body {
  font-size: 18;
  margin-top: 30px;
  font-family: 'Open Sans';
  line-height: 1.5;
  background: url(fundo.jpg) center;
  color: white;
}

p {
  margin-left: 250px;
  margin-right: 250px;
}

h3 {
  margin-left: 600px;
}

main {
  background: blue;
}

You put margin on the dial p. Instead of:

p {
    margin-left: 250px;
    margin-right: 250px;
}

Replace to:

p {
    margin: 0;
}

I withdrew as the other answer also speaks, but then I can’t leave the text in the middle of the screen as it was... could I leave the text like that and still make the background look like I want? https://imgur.com/a/GLFs26J (example of how it turned out)

Yes! You would have to write inside the main selector block: display: block; /* o margin auto só funciona se o modo do display for block */ width: 400px; /*a largura que você deseja que texto ocupe*/ margin: auto; /* Para deixar no centro */

Try changing the css of the element p for:

p {
  padding-left: 250px;
  padding-right: 250px;
}

The problem apparently is in your tag p that’s causing this withdrawal that you’re saying. By removing the margin of this component in the CSS it already fits the entire screen.

Corrected CSS code:

h1 {
    width: 50%;
    margin-left: 350px;
    font-size: 28;
}

body {
    font-size: 18;
    margin-top: 30px;
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    line-height: 1.5;
    background: url(fundo.jpg) center;
    color: white;
}
p {
    margin: 0;
}
h3 {
    margin-left: 600px;
}

main {
    background: blue;
}
