Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
Duotone to Color Image Hover
The photo sits as a two-color print, dark plum shadows and accent highlights, then washes into full color on hover. A multiply layer and a lighten layer over a grayscale photo make the duotone.
Also known as: duotone image css, two tone image hover, spotify duotone effect.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--hfx-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Base size: set
--hfx-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing16px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
