# Duotone Design > "Striking contrast. Photography and UI stripped down to exactly two clashing or complementary colors." ## When to Use Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the `design-it` skill and is not meant to be triggered directly. ## Core Principles 1. **Two Colors Only**: The entire design is mapped to a dark color (replacing blacks/shadows) and a light color (replacing whites/highlights). 2. **Treated Imagery**: All photos MUST be processed into the duotone palette. 3. **Bold, Flat Typography**: Text is usually massive, solid, and uses one of the two colors. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: Very high contrast pairs. Navy and Peach, Deep Purple and Neon Green, Crimson and Cream. Look at **Industrial Chic** for inspiration. - **Typography**: Heavy, condensed sans-serifs (e.g., `League Gothic`, `Oswald`). - **Imagery**: High-contrast, gritty photography works best when mapped to duotone. ## Web Implementation - Modern CSS can achieve image duotone effects without Photoshop, using `mix-blend-mode` and filters. - **CSS Example**: ```css :root { --duo-dark: #1E0045; /* Deep Purple */ --duo-light: #CCFF00; /* N

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill duotone-design --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
