I need some help recreating this in CSS (if possible) :
And here is a fiddle with what I have so far. There is a div with a background image and overlaying that div is another one with a red bg color and mix-blend-mode: multiply
on it. It looks like the color blend is working correctly, but is there a way that I can make the white text be unaffected and an opaque solid white like in the example image?
You may use pseudo element and apply mix-blend-mode: multiply
on it like this :
.bg {
background-image: url('https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1501706362039-c06b2d715385?auto=format&fit=crop&w=1070&q=60&ixid=dW5zcGxhc2guY29tOzs7Ozs%3D');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
padding: 100px 50px;
}
.text {
position: relative;
}
.text:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: #ed1c24;
mix-blend-mode: multiply;
z-index: 0;
}
.text p {
font-family: "Helvetica";
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 32px;
color: #fff;
margin: 0;
padding: 40px;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}
<div class="bg">
<div class="text">
<p>
These artistic movements were a refelection of the million of people who lived and worked here. To them, "I ❤ NY" could be read as a rallying cry.
