You can create layered effects by using multiple gradients, and making at least some of the colors in each upper layer at least partly transparent using the "rgba" function. For example:

.layers {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(0,0,0,0), navy),
                    linear-gradient(black , white);
}
