Colour System

NCS is based on more than 70 years of colour research and it is today one of the  world’s most widely used colour systems in practical use. NCS makes it easy to  analyse, choose, communicate, produce and control colours, where other systems use meaningless numbers, the NCS notation gives an exact description of the colour which we see. NCS, makes it possible to denote all the 10 million colours which the eye can distinguish. NCS – NATURAL COLOUR SYSTEM™ is a logical colour system which builds on how the human being sees colour. With NCS all the imaginable surface colours can be described and given an unambiguous NCS notation.
