Can I add a colored overlay over the map on my Webflow site and get help with it?

Yes, you can add a colored overlay on a map in Webflow to create a visual effect, such as darkening the map or adding a brand color tint. Here's how to do it.

1. Add a Map Embed or Widget

• Drag a “Embed” element or use the Webflow Map widget if you're using a third-party integration like Google Maps.
• Make sure your map is contained within a div block or section so you can position additional layers on top.

2. Wrap Map in a Div Block

• Create a parent Div Block, and place the map element inside.
• Set the parent position to “relative” so you can absolutely position an overlay on top of it.

3. Create the Overlay Div

• Inside the same parent Div Block, add another Div Block after the map.
• Set this new Div's position to “absolute” and full width/height (100% × 100%) so it covers the entire map.
• Choose a background color of your choice (e.g., rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) for a semi-transparent black).
• Give the overlay a higher z-index than the map so it appears on top.
• Optionally, apply custom blending modes or opacity for a subtle effect.

4. Make Sure Clicks Pass Through (Optional)

• If you want users to still interact with the map (zoom, drag, etc.), set the overlay’s Pointer Events to “none” in the Styles panel. This allows click events to pass through the overlay to the map.

Summary

To add a colored overlay to a map in Webflow, place the map and a semi-transparent div inside a shared relative-positioned container. Style the overlay with a background color, absolute position, and adjusted z-index. Use “pointer-events: none” if you want the map to remain interactive.
