Our world of colour
Colour inspiration
Colour is vital in flooring design as it can create moods, emotions and influence behaviour.
Welcome to our vibrant world of colour! At Forbo Flooring, colour is more than just a visual treat; it's a language we are fluent in. Our Global Colour Card, carefully created in-house by our team of international designers, forms the foundation for all our collections. This special palette guides our design process, ensuring a seamless blend of colours across all our product groups.
Dive into a spectrum of tools and links dedicated to all things colour and discover why colour is at the heart of Forbo Flooring's passion and innovation, shaping every collection with precision.
Colour Finder
Use our Colour Finder to select the colours you need for your project. Get inspired by our colour combinations and images and create your own mood board of colours, colour stories, and interior images. We then use your mood board as a starting point to recommend the Forbo Flooring products that can help you create the desired atmosphere.

The Dynamics of a Building
By analysing how people interact with a building, we understand their need for environments that are designed with a more human-centered perspective. Based on this 'Dynamics of a Building' philosophy, we invite you to experience the five different scenarios we built, each with its own atmosphere expressed in design, colours, and materials.

Moods EDITS
Three times a year, our team of international design experts curates a new Mood EDIT. Each EDIT features a carefully selected palette of NCS colours and Forbo Flooring products that reflect current design directions and sources of inspiration.
The EDITS are influenced by a wide range of references, from interiors and fashion to art and media. Colours are thoughtfully chosen from the Forbo Flooring Global Colour Card to help you stay in step with the latest trends and ideas.
