# Background-tint
The `background-tint` style modifies the background color by tinting (blending) it with a new color.
This style is typically used to subtly change the background of a widget for emphasis.
For instance the following would make a focused widget have a slightly lighter background.
```css
MyWidget:focus {
background-tint: white 10%
}
```
The background tint color should typically have less than 100% alpha, in order to modify the background color.
If the alpha component is 100% then the tint color will replace the background color entirely.
## Syntax
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_start.md"
background-tint: <a href="../../css_types/color"><color></a> [<a href="../../css_types/percentage"><percentage></a>];
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_end.md"
The `background-tint` style requires a [`<color>`](../css_types/color.md) optionally followed by [`<percentage>`](../css_types/percentage.md) to specify the color's opacity (clamped between `0%` and `100%`).
## Examples
### Basic usage
This example shows background tint applied with alpha from 0 to 100%.
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/background_tint.py"}
```
=== "background_tint.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/background_tint.py"
```
=== "background.tcss"
```css hl_lines="5-9"
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/background_tint.tcss"
```
## CSS
```css
/* 10% backgrouhnd tint */
background-tint: blue 10%;
/* 20% RGB color */
background-tint: rgb(100, 120, 200, 0.2);
```
## Python
You can use the same syntax as CSS, or explicitly set a `Color` object for finer-grained control.
```python
# Set 20% blue background tint
widget.styles.background_tint = "blue 20%"
from textual.color import Color
# Set with a color object
widget.styles.background_tint = Color(120, 60, 100, 0.5)
```
