Css: Semi-Transparent Background and an Image

CSS: Semi-transparent background and an image

background-color is placed underneath background-image, not above it (when rendered in the web-browser). To put a semi-transparent white block over an image, you will need to place another different HTML element on top of it with background-color.

Semi-transparent color layer over background-image?

Here it is:

.background {
    background:url('../img/bg/diagonalnoise.png');
    position: relative;
}

.layer {
    background-color: rgba(248, 247, 216, 0.7);
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

HTML for this:

<div class="background">
    <div class="layer">
    </div>
</div>

Of course you need to define a width and height to the .background class, if there are no other elements inside of it

How do I make a semi transparent background?

Use rgba():

.transparent {
  background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
}

This will give you 50% opacity while the content of the box will continue to have 100% opacity.

If you use opacity:0.5, the content will be faded as well as the background. Hence do not use it.

Semi transparent layer in between content and background image - CSS

You can simply use a linear-gradient as a second background over the image:

.bg {  background:   linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)),  url('http://support.kaziwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/member-1.png') center/cover no-repeat;  height: 200px;}
.content {  padding: 70px 130px}

<div class="bg">  <div class="content">    <h2>Hello There</h2>  </div></div>
