The response gives you a hint: "Bummer: Are you specifying the correct background-blend-mode?". And the instructions specifically say to "Use the value that multiplies background-image and background-color…"

The correct blend mode is therefore "multiply".

For future questions, it would be helpful to include a short description of your issue along with the code. You might also want to take a look at this video about Posting a Question.
