[css] How to add a color overlay to a background image?

I see 2 easy options:

  • multiple background with a translucent single gradient over image
  • huge inset shadow

gradient option:

html {
  min-height:100%;
  background:linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(255, 0, 150, 0.3), rgba(255, 0, 150, 0.3)), url(http://lorempixel.com/800/600/nature/2);
  background-size:cover;
}

shadow option:

html {
  min-height:100%;
  background:url(http://lorempixel.com/800/600/nature/2);
  background-size:cover;
  box-shadow:inset 0 0 0 2000px rgba(255, 0, 150, 0.3);
}

an old codepen of mine with few examples


a third option

  • with background-blen-mode :

    The background-blend-mode CSS property sets how an element's background images should blend with each other and with the element's background color.

html {
  min-height:100%;
  background:url(http://lorempixel.com/800/600/nature/2) rgba(255, 0, 150, 0.3);
  background-size:cover;
  background-blend-mode: multiply;
}
