I try to tint an image with the background attribute like this:

.image-holder:hover {
  opacity: 1;
  transition: opacity 1s, background 1s;
  background: #EBEFF7;
}

.image-holder {

Depending on your browser support use filter, many options at your disposal, caniuse.com looks promising http://caniuse.com/#search=css%20filter :-

filter: blur(5px);
filter: brightness(0.4);
filter: contrast(200%);
filter: drop-shadow(16px 16px 20px blue);
filter: grayscale(50%);
filter: hue-rotate(90deg);
filter: invert(75%);
filter: opacity(25%);
filter: saturate(30%);
filter: sepia(60%);
