Author semi-opaque backgrounds

Can anyone tell me how the effect of a background that has a color but
can be seen through is achieved? Is it done in CSS? An example is in the
drop-downs at this site.

Thanks for any pointers.

There's no doctype, yet they are using XHTML tag completion.

But they are using the youngpup menus, and that's a good thing....
