About NCS colors

The Natural Color System, or 'NCS' for short, is a color system issued by NCS Colour in Stockholm. The color system is based on the way humans perceive color. In the color experience of the human eye, 4 elementary colors play an important role: red, yellow, green and blue.
The NCS color system is used as a standard in various industries, for example by architects, designers and manufacturers.
