jQuery: there is a way to apply colour (tint) to an image?

Simplest way I can think of is overlaying a semitransparent div over the image.

A little example:

HTML

<div id="overlay" class="overlay"></div>
<img id="myimg" src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4416007/img.jpg" />

CSS

.overlay
    {
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    background-color: rgba(200, 100, 100, 0.5);
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    width: 0px;
    height: 0px;
    }

JS (with JQuery)

overlay = $("#overlay");
img = $("#myimg");
overlay.width(img.css("width"));
overlay.height(img.css("height"));
overlay.css("top", img.offset().top + "px");
overlay.css("left", img.offset().left + "px");
