Hillshading is not visible

CARTO doesn't seem to handle blending (and opacity lower than 1) of color-coded topography with basemap (Hillshade map). We need to find a work around. Vector hillshade is being explored
https://carto.com/docs/carto-engine/cartocss/composite-operations/ says:
"Composite operations are blending modes for your map layers. They fall into two main categories: color and alpha, and can be applied to all non-basemap elements in your CARTO map by adding the comp-op value to your CartoCSS code."
Example:

@nmanaud yes, compositing doesn't work with a background basemap layer but what you can do is color your countour layer and use opacity: 0.5; (or an appropriate value) using opacity versus polygon-opacity will give you the result (I am pretty sure) for example, that's what I did in this map:

Let me know if that works for you.
great!
