background-blend-mode

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

Blending modes should be defined in the same order as the background-image CSS property. If the blending modes' and background images' list lengths are not equal, it will be repeated and/or truncated until lengths match.
