How to have background color over background image

Hello,

<div class ="buyerform"> .....</div>

I have css which places a background image. 

.buyerform {
    background-image: url(/newsite/sites/default/files/davishouse.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: 0 100%;
    padding: 100px 15% 100px 15%;
    background-color: #443838;
}

Is there way I can have color on top of the image with some opacity? I tried this but had no effect on it. 

.buyerform:before {
    text-align: left;
    color: #afa69c;
    background-color: red;
opacity:.5;
}

Along with :before or :after you have to use content: property, this can be used to create a textual element to style like you normally can with any other html element. You then have to have it the height and width of what is the parent element by using for instance position: absolute with left:, right,: bottom: and top: properties
