Free electron lasers (FELs) are currently enabling cutting edge research in chemistry, biology and physics. We use simulations to assess a new FEL capability that would add to the impressive repertoire of experiments made possible by the technology: a two-colour independent polarization mode, which allows for light pulses with variable temporal separation, individually tuneable polarisation, and widely separated wavelength. Simulations are carried out using the broad bandwidth FEL code Puffin, the results of which are used to discuss the radiation properties of the output. This scheme is applicable to existing and proposed facilities which feature undulators with variable ellipticity and gap.
