Blend a background image using rgba without incorporating a gradient effect

Can you merge a background image with an rgba color without resorting to an rgba gradient?

My current CSS3 style appears as follows:

html
{
    background: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75)),
    url("../icons/sombrero.jpg")no-repeat center center fixed;
}

However, I envision something like this:

html
{
    background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75),
    url("../icons/sombrero.jpg")no-repeat center center fixed;
}

The rgba color should be on top of the image. I came across the gradient-"hack" from this source. I am looking for an alternative to the gradient technique, not the box-shadow trick.

Answer №1

In the near future, it may become a reality.

According to a section in the w3c working draft:

For instance, you can achieve a "tint" effect on a background image by layering a semi-transparent color on top of the original image:

background-image: image(rgba(0,0,255,.5)), url("bg-image.png");

Using background-color won't achieve the same result, as the solid color will always be behind all other background images.
