How to make background-blend-mode: multiply for the png with transparency to a transparent area not painted?

What is: a set of div layers in the background-image which are part of the image (png with transparency) and one of these layers I need to paint in a specific color (just using the background-blend-mode: multiply) but the problem is that this filter paints the whole picture, thereby hiding the items under the layer with this picture... any ideas how to implement?
