Duotone backgrounds

14 original designs, 1 free — click any one to put your own photo on it.

Duotone maps an entire image onto just two colours, collapsing all detail into a single tonal ramp. The result is graphic and unmistakably branded — Spotify built an identity on it — and it guarantees that a background can never clash with your palette, because it is your palette.
