We'll go through a series of detailed steps that will help you learn how to apply a duotone filter to images and videos, create custom duotone effects, and how to apply a duotone filter globally across your entire site.

What are two-tone colors?

Two-tone is an image processing technique that creates a unique visual effect by applying two different colors to an image or video background. Not only does this technique give your images a more modern and attractive look, but it can also help you further promote your brand and create more compelling design elements through color matching.

After completing the above steps, you can preview or publish the page to see the actual effect on the front end. You will notice that the two-tone filter effect has been applied to all elements, whether they are images added to the page, the video cover, or all elements in the gallery block.

Practice Recommendations

• Try different color combinations: Different color combinations can convey different emotions and messages. Try using colors that match your brand identity or choose colors that trigger a specific emotional response.
• Note the visual consistency: When applying two-tone filters site-wide, it's important to maintain consistency in color and style. This helps to enhance brand recognition and provide users with a consistent visual experience.
• Optimize image and video quality: Before applying the two-tone filter, make sure that the quality of the image and video is high enough. High contrast images and videos usually give a better two-tone effect.
• Test the user experience: After changing the visual elements of your website, it's important to conduct a user experience test. Make sure that the application of the two-tone filter is not just aesthetically pleasing, but also that it does not negatively impact the usability of the site.
