two-tone
Like saddle shoes
Two-tone describes something having two distinct colors or shades: a two-tone paint job, two-tone shoes.
The term extends to sounds with two pitches, as in the two-tone alert of emergency sirens.
Two-tone also names a style of British ska music from the late 1970s that blended punk and reggae influences.
