It seems like this
Hi, not sure if it has been discussed previously however would it be
possible to have a tinted translucency for the panel? For example it
could appear as a translucent brown thus providing good contrast as
well as the desired effect.

Ensure that foreground and background color combinations provide
sufficient contrast
