Can I apply multiple background colors with CSS3?

Question

I know how to specify multiple background images using CSS3 and modify how they are displayed using different options.

Currently I have a <div>, which needs to have a different color for about 30% of the width on the left side:

div#content {   background: url("./gray.png") repeat-y, white;   background-size: 30%; } 

Instead of loading the image which is totally gray, how can I do this specifying the color, and without additional <div>s?

Yes its possible! and you can use as many colors and images as you desire, here is the right way:

body{  /* Its, very important to set the background repeat to: no-repeat */  background-repeat:no-repeat;     background-image:    /* 1) An image              */ url(http://lorempixel.com/640/100/nature/John3-16/),   /* 2) Gradient              */ linear-gradient(to right, RGB(0, 0, 0), RGB(255, 255, 255)),   /* 3) Color(using gradient) */ linear-gradient(to right, RGB(110, 175, 233), RGB(110, 175, 233));    background-position:  /* 1) Image position        */ 0 0,   /* 2) Gradient position     */ 0 100px,  /* 3) Color position        */ 0 130px;    background-size:    /* 1) Image size            */ 640px 100px,  /* 2) Gradient size         */ 100% 30px,   /* 3) Color size            */ 100% 30px;  }
