Blend modes

CSS blend modes are a set of properties that allow you to control how the colors of overlapping elements interact with each other. Blend modes can be applied to elements in your web page to create various visual effects, such as color mixing, overlays, and transitions.

Each blend mode determines how the colors of the element and its underlying content blend together. This can result in effects like changing the brightness, contrast, hue, or saturation of elements when they overlap.
Here are some common CSS blend modes:

  1. Normal: The default blending mode. No blending or adjustment is applied, and the elements display as usual.
  2. Multiply: Multiplies the colors of the top element with the colors of the underlying elements. Darkens the resulting color.
  3. Screen: Inverse of the Multiply blend mode. Brightens the resulting color.
  4. Overlay: Combines Multiply and Screen modes to create contrast and intensity in the resulting color.
  5. Difference: Subtracts the colors of the top element from the colors of the underlying elements.
  6. Soft Light: Similar to Overlay, but with a gentler effect.
  7. Hue, Saturation, Color, and Luminosity: These modes adjust specific color properties of the top element based on the underlying elements.

Using CSS blend modes can add creative and dynamic visual effects to your web design, helping to enhance the user experience and make your website stand out.
