    Hi guys,

    Anybody can offer me some help in changing the homepage picture container color?
    As you can see, it greys out my picture. (Any picture I insert gets greyed out.)
    I don’t like that. Anybody can guide me step by step how to make it more colorful?

    I would appreciate that
    Thank you

    So the ‘greying out’ is actually an overlay which is used to allow the text to be readable and it’s quite common when there are image backgrounds to hero sections.

    This does look quite dark, so you can lighten it with some CSS.

    `.banner:after {
    background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) !important;
    }`

    This is what its currently set to, but you can amend the 0.7 value to anything lower in order to reduce darkness (the transparency of the darkness).

    Think of 0.7 as 70% darkness, 0.6 as 60% darkness applied etc. A value of 1 would be completely black with no image coming through. Set it to whatever suits you.
