Please tell that Why the color of image is Not Changing. Following is the code: –

background-color: #3399FF;
background-image: url("images/diagonal_striped_brick.gif");

Answer by Starx

Just made a demo. The image you are using is not transparent.


Update: How to make the image transparent?

  • Open the image with an image editor like photoshop.
  • Changed the opacity value of image
  • Save it as .png for better quality.

Now, the code from above will be able to give you the desired affect.
