[Exemption]

I know you can do it for staff but can you do it for specific user groups?

You add the xen helper string to messages and not extra.css

Hmm this is what I have currently:

EXTRA.CSS

.message.owner {
background-color: #FF8787;
}

MESSAGE

<xen:require css="message.css" />
<xen:require css="bb_code.css" />
<xen:require css="xb_message.css" />

<li id="{$messageId}" class="message {xen:if $message.isDeleted, 'deleted'} {xen:if '{$message.is_staff}', 'staff'} {xen:if '{xen:helper ismemberof, $message, 3}', 'owner'} {xen:if $message.isIgnored, ignored}" data-author="{$message.username}">
<xen:if is="@xb_message_layout == 1 OR @xb_message_header">
    <div class="messageHeading">

Of course not all of them, only the main area where the code is involved.

And this is how your css is now (or was, looks like it was removed after I looked) showing

<li id="post-5914" class="message staff owner " data-author="Exemption">

So you have yourself marked as staff still, and it added owner to the end. Remove yourself from the staff list and it'll show up as class=message owner, or you can try
.message.staff owner {
background-color: #FF8787;
}

Done but how do I do the whole message? Not just the box Screenshot

Weird..on my forums it makes the entire thing the proper color (2015-08-30_2336 - Joshie787's library)

What theme are you using? Could just be how it's styled. I looked at your css and I actually couldn't find the css string anymore (but it could just be I did something wrong)

Got it, you made the message content red, not the actual class you need.

You have
.owner .messageContent {
background-color: #FF8787;
}

You need

.message.staff.owner {
background-color: #FF8787;
}
