How to Add Color Overlay to the Background Image in Divi Builder

Adding a color overlay to the background image in Divi is very easy. First, go to your Divi Builder editor, and we will start everything from scratch, so create a section. In this example, we will add a color overlay to the sections background image, but you can also add a color overlay to the rows and modules background image.

Alright, go to the Section settings -> Content tab -> Background.

Next, click the Background Image and add a background image, and you can edit the background image settings with your preference.

Once you’ve added a background image, navigate to the Background Gradient panel afterward. Enable the background gradient setting by clicking the plus button (➕). When you’ve added a background gradient, some options will appear, navigate to the Place Gradient Above Background Image option and enable it by switching the toggle to YES.

We will move to the last step, adding the color overlay to the background image.

Go to the Gradient Stops option, then click the toggle, and now you can adjust the opacity of the color (see the GIF below).
