The way that I read the rules it should be legal if you are applying it to the whole image.

If the challenge is black and white, then I don't think there should be any duotones except for white and black.

It depends on the method you use to get the duotone. There are many ways to get the achieved look and not all of them are legal. If you are using the duotone option in photoshop or equivalent then it should be fine. If you are painting in a new color layer and using blending options to get the desired effect it's not legal in basic editing.
