Multispectral x-ray pump-probe experiments call for synchronized two-color free-electron lasers (FEL). This mode often implies a laborious setup or an inefficient use of the undulator. We report on a simple and noninvasive approach tested at SwissFEL for a two-color x-ray delivering almost 60% of the pulse energy compared with a single color. In this new method, a ps UV pulse is overlapped to the photocathode drive laser increasing the beam emittance, which locally inhibits the FEL process. This scheme permits high-stability in energy and spectrum and the control of the two-color duration and intensity ratio. It enables shot-to-shot switching between one and two-color FEL and, since not associate to beam losses, it is compatible with high repetition-rate and high average-power FELs.
