duotone
Halftone with pair
Duotone is a printing or design technique using two colors, typically black and one other ink, to create an image with richer tonal range than a single color allows.
The technique produces a distinctive aesthetic often seen in vintage photographs and modern graphic design: The poster used a striking blue duotone.
In digital design, duotone filters apply two-color gradients to images for stylized effect.
