Duotone
A two-color treatment that maps an image's tones between a dark ink and a light ink. It comes from printing with two inks and became a mainstay of 2010s web, poster and music graphics.

Image edit prompt“Convert this image into a bold duotone: map the shadows to deep indigo and the highlights to hot pink, with every tone in between a smooth blend of just those two colors, strong contrast and no other hues. Make it look like a modern poster print. Keep the original subject and composition.”
