Our Colours of the Year; Free Groove™, Mellow Flow™ and Slow Swing™ offer you the chance to create Mood-changing interior design in your home. By using a flow of blues or playing with different Blue colour combinations, you can completely change the mood of your living room.
The living room is often where we spend most time at home. It's a room that needs to work at all times of the day and be flexible enough to play a host of different roles – a switch-off space, a place to entertain friends and family, a room where we can kick back and feel carefree. Colour is the game-changer in creating Versatile living spaces. Influencing the light and energy of any space, it can transform the way your living room feels, whether it's north- or south-facing, big or small.
Fluid and flexible, blue is the best colour to help you create Energy-altering paint colours for your space in 2026. This year, we've chosen the vibrant Free Groove™, an airy Mellow Flow™ and the meditative Slow Swing™. We've also built three new colour stories around our collection of indigos – the Slow colour story, the Flow colour story and the Free colour story. Our blue family features in each of these, with a different shade of blue acting as the 'hero' in each palette. By playing with these colours, you can dial the energy of your room up or down, find the perfect mood and create a look you love."

Our Slow colour story is all about creating a switch-off space – somewhere quiet where you can relax and recharge your batteries. Here, misty blue gives a restful, cocooning feel while the dark blue of the corridor floor that extends into the room gives it a dash of contemporary blue interior design. This meditative blue - Slow Swing™ is the hero in this palette. Rich and grounding, it is the perfect shade to bring a sense of stability to a neutral scheme.
To achieve this look:
Our Colours of the Year blues work brilliantly together to create a natural flow in a living room. Sharing the same cooling, calming qualities, they bring a restful balance to a room but also offer scope for any number of different moods. By playing with the proportions of each, you can create just the feel you need. Vivechrom has easy-to-use options for every wall. Find the best products for your project.
