NCS Colour Collections

The NCS colour collections range contains many different colour charts to support colour selection and communication. Define your colour choice by selecting one of the 2050 NCS Standard Colours and use NCS Colour Space to select other colours for your project. Use the NCS Atlas to find harmonising or contrasting colour combinations. NCS colour products are used by designers, architects, manufacturers and colour professionals to define, specify, quality assure and communicate colour. The different tools within the colour collections help you to visualise your colour concept. The products available range from portable fan decks to carry to meetings or site visits, up to larger items such as the desktop Atlas or Album for your office. The NCS Atlas is a very helpful tool, by illustrating NCS Colour space it explains how colours in the range relate to each other. Individual colour sheets are available to purchase in A4 and A6 sizes and these are useful for sending to remote clients. Sheets of colour are ideal if larger samples of colour are required for colour selection, and wrapping around prototypes. Most products contain the complete collection of 2050 NCS colours but some have smaller, specific colour ranges. The smaller colour collections are used for designing specific products, NCS Exterior, for example, is for colouration of exterior materials such as bricks, concrete and paving. NCS WS 160 is ideal when low chromatic colours (whites, greys) rather than saturated colours are required.
