Last Updated :
07 Jun, 2022
The CSS mix-blend-mode property of an element is used to specify the blending of an element’s background with the element’s parent.
Syntax:
mix-blend-mode: normal | multiply | exclusion
| overlay | lighten | darken
| color-dodge | color-burn
| hard-light | soft-light
| difference | hue
| saturation | color | screen
| luminosity
Values:
- initial – the default setting, this does not set a blend mode.
- inherit – this inherits the blend mode of its parent element.
- unset – this removes the current blend mode from the element.
- normal – no blending is applied on the element.

<div style="mix-blend-mode: normal">

- multiply – this multiplies the element’s color with the background. The resulting color is always as dark as the background.

- screen – this multiplies the element’s color with the background and then complements the result. The resulting color is always as bright as one of the blended layers.

- exclusion – this subtracts the darker of two colors from the lightest color of the element. The result is similar to ‘difference’ but with a lower contrast.

<div style="background-color: orange; width: 225px; padding: 10px;">

<div style="mix-blend-mode: exclusion">

- Output:
- overlay – this applies ‘multiply’ on lighter colors and ‘screen’ on darker colors in the element. The effect is effectively the opposite of ‘hard-light’.
