Colour and mood are often interconnected. Every mood mix in Flowvi.be has a specific colour that reflects the selection of songs as well as the currently playing track.

It took exhaustive research to create what I call the "Colour Flow Engine" which is able to dynamically reflect the mood in the colour of the full screen player view.

## Colour and mood

The meaning of colours can vary greatly between different cultures, influencing anything from aesthetics and religious symbolism to marketing. While Flowvi.be comes with a carefully chosen defaults, it also makes it easy to tweak and adapt using the Mood Palettes feature.

## Colour palettes

Flowvi.be currently supports the following options:

- **Default** - A simple scheme for every mood. This is the one that's activated out of the box
- **Aurora** - Colours are adjusted to match energy and emotion. This one was introduced in Flowvi.be 1.2 and is still a bit experimental (You're more than welcome to reach out with ideas on how to improve it!)
- **Time of Day** - This one adapts colours depending on the time of the day. It starts with cool mornings and moves on to warm evenings.
- **High Contrast** - This one makes the difference between the colour of every mood a lot more pronounced for enhanced legibility and contrast.
- **Mono** - If none of the above are to your liking, you can also choose to have a single colour of your choosing applied to all moods.
