Overlays
Overlays are useful for ensuring that text overlaying an image will remain readable.
Elements using an image background can be overlayed with a tint by adding the data attribute data-overlay="#". The strength of the tint can be controlled by assigning a number between 1 and 9 to the data attribute. 1 being a light tint, 9 being a heavy tint.
<div class="imagebg" data-overlay="5"> <div class="background-image-holder"> <img alt="background" src="img/file.jpg" /> </div> <div class="container"> Content </div></div>

Build NowScrims
Similar to overlays, scrims add a gradient tint to the bottom or top of an element to ensure that overlaying text remains readable — without tinting the entire image.
Elements using an image background can be scrimmed by adding the data attribute data-scrim-top="#"or data-scrim-bottom="#". The strength of the scrim can be controlled by assigning a number between 1 and 9 to the data attribute. 1 being a light ting, 9 being a heavy scrim.
<div class="imagebg" data-scrim-bottom="5"> <div class="background-image-holder"> <img alt="background" src="img/file.jpg" /> </div> <div class="container"> Content </div></div>
