Hi, I am a beginner in PS. I have an outer box holding two child boxes, box1 and box2 (3 layers).

Box 1 is white in color. The outer (parent) box is #180054 and box2 is #3E1B9D. I want to change box 1 to look like box 2. Possible settings used can be, layer opacity, layer fill, and layer color overlay. Color overlay is important. The colors may be either Black #000000 or White #FFFFFF or shades between them, like gray #CCCCCC. No other colors (i mean red, blue, yellow etc) may be used for overlay.

How can I do this?
Thanks in advance... Angel

Is this a question for a test? First thought is is cannot be done because white + white or black or any shade of grey is never going to = a colour.

I am guessing the darker purple is below the two boxes.
I came really close with:
Opacity = 90%
Fill = 7%
Color Overlay Color = White
Color Overlay Opacity = 43%
Color Overlay Blend Mode = Color Dodge

I am guessing if you darken the color overlay color slightly it might get you all the way there.
I get the feeling I am doing someones homework for them. Big Wink

Fair play for attempting it!
