The Styling tab allows you to set specific styling to the background of blocks, such as Blend Mode, Clips, Filters and Clip Paths.

The Styling tab is located inside the Background tab in the Design tab.

Blend Mode

The Background Blend Mode property defines how the background image should be merged with the background colour, including: Inherit, Normal, Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, Lighten, Colour-Dodge, Colour-Burn, Hard-Light, Soft-Light, Difference, Exclusion, Hue, Saturation, Colour, Luminosity.

Options

Inherit The blend mode is inherited.

Normal The block does not blend.

Multiply Defines the blend mode to multiply.

Screen Defines the blend mode to screen.

Overlay Defines the blend mode to overlay.

Darken Defines the blend mode to darken.

Lighten Defines the blend mode to lighten.

Colour-Dodge Defines the blend mode to colour-dodge, lightens the colours of the base layers and reduces the contrast resulting in saturated mid-tones.

Colour-Burn Defines the blend mode to colour-burn, darkens the colours and increases the contrast of the base colours, then blends the colours of the blending layer.

Hard-Light Defines the blend mode to hard-light, the transition between light and shadows is very harsh and defined.

Soft-Light Defines the blend mode to soft-light, the transition between light and shadows is more of a gradient and much smoother.

Difference Defines the blend mode to difference.

Overlay Defines the blend mode to overlay, a colour tint is added.

Exclusion Defines the blend mode to exclusion.

Hue Defines the blend mode to hue, the background colour in degrees.
