  • How do I give text or an image a transparent background using CSS?

    28 answers



I am trying to make the background less opaque but have the colour of the text remain the same.






.overview 
background: gray;
width: 45%;
opacity: 0.3;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
font-size: large;
border-radius: 8px;


.overview p
text-align: center;
color: white;

<div id="overview" class="overview">
<p>
Blah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blah Blah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blahBlah blah

</p>
</div>





However both the text and background colour become dimmer

          Your background should be an RGBA color, applying opacity is for the div



          background-color:rgba(128,128,128,0.3);

            The following code should be:

            background: gray;
            width: 45%;
            opacity: 0.3%;
