Hi

How in CSS can i set a background color or a layer but make it transparent to the color of the page itself, so if the page is blue and a layer is black, you should be able to see through the black and see the blue, but the blue would be darker, kind of like if you put a lens of a sunglasses over a color, the color, through the lens, would appear darker

I have been looking for a way to accomplish this as well.Hope someone knows.

If I understand what you are asking, it should be as simple as:

background-color: transparent;

no i think you mis-understand,or maybe it's me it seems he wants to make a calor transparent but not completely transparent.Is there a way to set a percentage of transparency?

In that case you are dealing with opacity and it would go like this:

{style="filter:alpha(opacity=50);-moz-opacity:.50;opacity:.50;}

I uploaded a demo which is just a blue page with a small table with a black background. The black background is set to 50% opacity which allows the blue to somewhat shine through. Opacity does not look real great with black due to it being the darkest color.

Example is here:
