background-blend-mode - CSS | MDN

background-blend-mode
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.
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.
Try it
background-blend-mode: normal;
background-blend-mode: multiply;
background-blend-mode: hard-light;
background-blend-mode: difference;
<section class="default-example" id="default-example">
<div class="example-container">
<div class="transition-all" id="example-element"></div>
</div>
</section>
#example-element {
background-color: green;
background-image: url("/shared-assets/images/examples/balloon.jpg");
width: 250px;
height: 305px;
}
Blending modes should be defined in the same order as the background-image
property. If the blending modes' and background images' list lengths are not equal, it will be repeated and/or truncated until lengths match.
Syntax

/* One value */
background-blend-mode: normal;
/* Two values, one per background */
background-blend-mode: darken, luminosity;
/* Global values */
background-blend-mode: inherit;
background-blend-mode: initial;
background-blend-mode: revert;
background-blend-mode: revert-layer;
background-blend-mode: unset;
