Duotoned

/ˈduːətəʊnd/ adjective

Definition

Rendered or created in duotone; having exactly two colors or tones.

Etymology

From duotone + -ed (a suffix forming past participles and adjectives). A duotoned image is one that has been processed into a two-color format.

Kelly Says

A duotoned image has a specific aesthetic—it's deliberately limited, which paradoxically makes it feel more artistic than a full-color photo, and it's why vintage album covers and modern Instagram filters love this effect.
