Welcome to our community!

Ad the folowing property in your ‘body’ selector:

box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 1000px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
  • change the value of the last number in ‘rgba’ to create different shade over the background image

This page has some different examples. It is using a modal but the same ideas would apply to a color overlay on a background image.

The example form is using a pseudo-element for the overlay BTW.
