CSS: background image on background color

You need to use the full property name for each:

background-color: #6DB3F2;
background-image: url('images/checked.png');

Or, you can use the background shorthand and specify it all in one line:

background: url('images/checked.png'), #6DB3F2;

For me this solution didn't work out:

background-color: #6DB3F2;
background-image: url('images/checked.png');

But instead it worked the other way:

<div class="block">
<span>
...
</span>
</div>

the css:

.block{
  background-image: url('img.jpg') no-repeat;
  position: relative;
}

.block::before{
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.37);
  content: '';
  display: block;
  height: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
}

And if you want Generate a Black Shadow in the background, you can use the following:

background:linear-gradient( rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 100%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)100%),url("logo/header-background.png");

Based on MDN Web Docs you can set multiple background using shorthand background property or individual properties except for background-color. In your case, you can do a trick using linear-gradient like this:

background-image: url('images/checked.png'), linear-gradient(to right, #6DB3F2, #6DB3F2);

The first item (image) in the parameter will be put on top. The second item (color background) will be put underneath the first. You can also set other properties individually. For example, to set the image size and position.

background-size: 30px 30px;
background-position: bottom right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

Benefit of this method is you can implement it for other cases easily, for example, you want to make the blue color overlaying the image with certain opacity.

background-image: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(109, 179, 242, .6), rgba(109, 179, 242, .6)), url('images/checked.png');
background-size: cover, contain;
background-position: center, right bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat, no-repeat;

Individual property parameters are set respectively. Because the image is put underneath the color overlay, its property parameters are also placed after color overlay parameters.


You can also use short trick to use image and color both like this :-

body {
     background:#000 url('images/checked.png');
 }

The next syntax can be used as well.

background: <background-color> 
            url('../assets/icons/my-icon.svg')
            <background-position-x background-position-y>
            <background-repeat>;

It allows you combining background-color, background-image, background-position and background-repeat properties.

Example

background: #696969 url('../assets/icons/my-icon.svg') center center no-repeat;

really interesting problem, haven't seen it yet. this code works fine for me. tested it in chrome and IE9
