background-blend-mode CSS property - CSS | MDN

background-blend-mode CSS property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. Its 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.

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.
