We present for the first time design and operation of a two-color grating magneto-optical trap (gMOT) optimized for cooling and trapping of 88Sr atoms on the first and second cooling transition. We trap 106 88Sr atoms on the 1S0 → 1P1 transition at 461 nm with a linewidth of 30.2 MHz that are initially cooled to few mK and subsequently transferred to the second cooling stage on the narrow line 1S0 → 3P1 transition at 689 nm with a linewidth of 7.48 kHz where they are further cooled to a temperature of 5 µK. We reach a transfer efficiency of 25%. We outline general design considerations for two-colour cooling with a gMOT transferable to other atom species. These results present an important step in further miniaturization of quantum sensors based on cold alkaline-earth atoms.
