Transparent Colors
CSS3 supports RGBA colors.  The RGBA declaration allows you to set opacity (via the Alpha
      channel) as part of the color value. A value of 0 corresponds to a completely
      transparent color, while a value of 1  corresponds to a completely opaque
      color. To specify a value, you can use either a real number between
        0 and 1, or a percent.
Example: RGBA
      Color
  personnel:before {
    display:block;    
    padding: 1em;
    font-size: 1.8em;
    content: "Employees";
    font-weight: bold;
    color:#EEEEEE;    
    background-color: rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.6);
}
