I don't know if I understand the question, but from what i understand you want to apply an overlay color on top of the image so the image became dimmer. If that this solution may help you create a new div

<img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/9fvw247x7ml90mf/canadaN.jpg?dl=1" alt="">
<div class="overlay-div"></div> <!-- the new div -->
<div class="card-img-overlay d-flex align-items-center container">

and apply some css styles

.overlay-div{
   height:100%;
   width: 100%;
   position:absolute;
   background-color:#000;
   opacity:.7;
}

there is a pen file you can try it img overlay color

So i am trying to put a very light color on top of img or the parent div of the image so that what ever the image is , light or dark the text will be visible clearly without any problem. As you can see i am using bootstrap card class to have the text over image also. This is my attempt so far, but having this opacity is making the text and image dimmer, I wanted the image to be dimmer/lighter so that text is strongly visible. Whats a good solution here. I seen people using a transparent background color as image and overlaying it css, I dont know if thats a good approach

.dnow-regionsContent {
    background-color: SlateGray;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    opacity: 0.8;
}
.dnow-regionsContent .card-img-overlay img {
    max-height: 40rem;
}
