image()Limited availability

The image() CSS function creates an image similar to url() but with additional functionality. It can create a solid color as an image, provide a fallback from an image URL to a solid color, or clip a sprite image using media fragments. Not to be confused with the Image() constructor.

Not yet supported in all major browsers — check the table and provide a fallback.
