title: How to "tint" image with css
body: <p>I try to tint an image with the background attribute like this:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.image-holder:hover {
    opacity: 1;
    transition: opacity 1s, background 1s;
    background: #EBEFF7;
  }
  
  .image-holder {
    height: 250px;
    width: 200px;
    opacity: 0.5;
    transition: opacity 1s, background 1s;
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="image-holder"&gt;
    &lt;img src="https://dummyimage.com/200x200/fff/000000.png" /&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/6ELSF/1047/" rel="noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/6ELSF/1047/</a></p>
  
  <p>But the image is not "tinted" like expected.</p>
  
  <p>On hover it looks like this:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/SY6sN.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/SY6sN.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>but I want it to look like this:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zczHG.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zczHG.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I tried to test some solution I found regarding overlay of images but neither worked in my example.
  How do accomplish this in the least complicated manner?</p>
