NCS - Natural Colour System is a logical colour notation system which builds on how humans see colour.
It was developed by the Scandinavian Colour Institute in 1960 and is based on studies by Hering, which reduced all visible colors to the mix of four unique colors: yellow, red, green and blue over black and white.
From color blends with each other and with the black to be increased by 10% intensity and white, 13 color scales considered an international standard since 1976 are derived.
Today the use of the range NCS color management in product development and ensuring accurate production designer paint color is known and used in architecture and interiors.
