two tone

Like saddle shoes

Two-tone describes something with two distinct colors or shades: a two-tone car with a white roof and blue body, two-tone leather shoes.

The term extends to sounds with two pitches, as in emergency sirens or electronic alerts.

In music, two-tone (or 2 Tone) names a late-1970s British ska revival movement blending reggae rhythms with punk energy.
