background:rgba(0,0,0,.85);

the rgba is red green blue color model the a stand for alpha, so if you want a different color youll need to do something like

background:rgba(255,255,255,.85) which would be white at 85% transparency

Hey again, on my site damnsonmusic.com I have been tinkering with different color schemes and I find in the different sections such as the Header :

/*---------HEADER STUFF-----------*/
a#logo {width:100%; background: #000; background:rgba(0,0,0,.85); display: block; clear: right; padding: 80px 0 ; text-align: center; color: #fff; margin-bottom: 0px;}
a#logo:hover {text-decoration: none;}
a#logo img {max-width: 80%;}

If I change the background color it only shows if I take out the ".85" how come i cant get other colors to be partially transparent? If I put in any value it defaults back to grey/black even if the background color is like purple.

Thanks again,

Kade
