How to create a two-color, dashed line in Inkscape

Question

How can I draw a two-color, dashed line in Inkscape?

The only possibility I see is to draw a colored/transparent line.

Have you tried your proposed method? What else have you tried? May we see examples? — Manly, Commented Jun 7, 2016 at 14:59

Dashed strokes are effectively part stroke and part non-stroke (transparent).

2 possibilities for 2 color stroke:

Duplicate the stroke, and group both together. Set the lower stroke in one color, and the upper stroke to dashed style, and another color.
Use only 1 stroke, and set the stroke fill to gradient or (custom) pattern.

You can use the same dash style for both, and use offset on one to make them alternate: i.imgur.com/KAY5gXW.png
