There are at least two ways this can be done. The first, and simplest,
is to set the top Object to either 'Darken' or 'Multiply' using the
effects panel. However, some output devices aren't fond of
transparency, so another option would be to do the following:

1. Select both objects
2. Duplicate them directly on top of the originals
3. With the new objects still selected, select 'Pathfinder:Intersect'
from the Object menu.
4. Color your new object a darker shade of your originals.

Hope this helps.
