What html tag can you use to be able to make a css stripe with measurements and color?

I have made one using an empty div and I would like to know if that is the correct option, thanks

If all the element does is contain a color, "div" is a good choice.

If the stripe is going to be used to separate paragraphs, another choice might be "hr".

thanks for you comment, it is only a decorative background, it does not separate any extra information this is my code for review

<!-- start title -->
    <h1>Creative Wireframe</h1>
    <!-- end title -->


    <!-- stripe start -->
    <div class="franja"></div> // Is this the correct way to write the code?


    <!-- start p -->
    <p>
        Lorem ipsum dolor, sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Tenetur similique quod,
        veniam vel suscipit soluta reprehenderit commodi! Porro deleniti eum earum ullam omnis nisi,
        maxime obcaecati fugit minima doloribus voluptatum?
    </p>
    <!-- end p -->

Without any contents, you may need to give the div an explicit height to make it visible.
