Custom CSS color overlay

I am trying to write up some CSS for a company logo that is a fairly accurate depiction of the jpg currently on the company server. its pretty basic except for some color overlays on the logo.

My question is: is this even possible? if so how can i go about doing so

please dont bash, im a total noob, my first line of html was about a week ago...

Here is my markup

<html>

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <title>

    </title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/stylesheet.css"
</head>
<style contenteditable="">
#infinity {
position: absolute;
width: 212px;
height: 100px;
 -webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
   -moz-transform: rotate(-45deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(-45deg);
     -o-transform: rotate(-45deg);
        transform: rotate(-45deg);
}

 #infinity:before,
#infinity:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 60px;
height: 60px;    
border: 15px solid;
-moz-border-radius: 50px 50px 0 50px;
     border-radius: 50px 50px 0 50px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
   -moz-transform: rotate(-45deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(-45deg);
     -o-transform: rotate(-45deg);
        transform: rotate(-45deg);
}
#infinity:before{
color: #ADB2B3;
}
#infinity:after {

        transform: rotate(45deg);
}                       
                                    </style>
<body>

    It's not quite there, but it's closer

    I made a relatively positioned container and then drew out each loop from there, positioned everything according to the box. Changed the border to get the continuous effect and then obscured the diagonal line generated by a gold box. There's no rotation either, but if you want to change the size there's a little bit of math to be done. Did it in Chrome, haven't checked other browsers yet.

    Edit I'm not exactly condoning this, but I did enjoy trying to recreate it. This really should be an image, and you can prevent the broken image by saving and referencing it as a local file.
