Transparency Issues

Hi everyone. I’m building using Modularity Lite (content not public yet–so issue isn’t viewable) and am having issues. Essentially, the posts have a transparency behind them, so that you can see the background image underneath. On the blog page, the transparency works fine.

However, on most of my static pages (but not all), behind the text is a black layer. (At the very top of the layer is a thin line of transparency, so I know that the transparency is there–that it isn’t the issue.)

Not sure how to remove this black image from behind my text. (I’m happy to forward a jpg of the page in question if that would help, as I know it is hard to envision what the issue is.)

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
