 * Overlay blending
 *
 * This function mimics Photoshop overlay blending mode by accepting two RGB arrays,
 * one which will be overlayed and one which will overlay. The exact equation for overlay
 * is not known, however Kevin Jensen has a pretty accurate equation available on his website.
 * Please see http://www.venture-ware.com/kevin/coding/lets-learn-math-photoshop-blend-modes/
 *
 * @param array $bottom Color to be overlayed formatted as RGB array, i.e. for red array(255, 0, 0)
 * @param array $top Color which overlays $bottom formatted as RGB array, i.e. for white array(255, 255, 255)
 * @param float $opacity Optional opacity to be applied to the overlayed color in relation to $bottom
 *
 * @return array Color resulted in overlaying formatted as RGB array
