mix-blend-mode

Controls how an element blends with the content beneath it, similar to layer blend modes in image editors.

Syntax

mix-blend-mode: multiply | screen | overlay | difference | ...;

Watch out

Blending only happens within the relevant stacking context. If the result looks wrong, check whether an ancestor with `isolation: isolate` is separating the layers.

Common values

screen
Lightens; useful for glows on dark surfaces
multiply
Darkens; useful for ink and shadow effects
difference
Inverts against the backdrop; useful for cursors and masks
