CSS ID changes

Hey, I guess this is probably pretty trivial, but it's hard for me to find an answer or understand it nonetheless.

I am trying to create a grid of colored squares with an arbitrary spacing between them. This in itself is easy to do, especially because I only need nine squares. But while I look at my code, I cannot help but feel that there is a much simpler and more efficient way to accomplish this.

At the moment, I have nine different identifiers declared in my CSS, one for each square.

div.container{
    position:relative;
    left:50px;
    top:50px;
    background-color:rgb(45,45,45);
    height:300px;
    width:300px;
}

#square{
    position:absolute;
    background-color:rgb(52,82,222);
    left:20px;
    top:20px;
    height:80px
    width:80px

#square2{
    position:absolute;
    background-color:rgb(58,82,22);
    left:110px;
    top:20px;
    height:80px;
    width:80px;


etc etc etc

What I would like to do is find a more efficient way to do this.

Thanks for the help!
