darken background image using css
darken a background image using css only useful if you have overlay text or just want to add a nicer effect to an image, i usually find that adding this to an image with the text over the top makes it much easier to read and also you can make a bunch of images on the same page fit into the same theme, as you can add rgba color color tint here.
Demo
code
you will need to include this base css class for the demos to work the same as below
.demo-darken-shared { height:300px; width:300px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; color:#FFF; font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; text-shadow:0px 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.8); text-align: center; }
