Design Tools
Professional instruments for accurate colour analysis, colour reading and colour matching. Essential for every colour professional.
NCS Design Tools
The NCS design tools help you navigate through the NCS Colour Space using the logic of the system and the structure of NCS codes. This allows you to develop colour combinations that support your design vision with precision.
The NCS design tools provide professional support for colour design, colour comparison and project specification. They are developed to objectively analyse colours, systematically arrange them and correctly interpret them within the Natural Colour System. With these instruments you have accurate and reliable references for every design or advisory process in which colour plays a determining role.
The Natural Colour System collection consists of tools that simplify colour perception, make colour differences insightful and support a consistent application of NCS colours in your workflow. Whether it concerns interior design, architecture, industrial design or material development — the NCS design tools help you make well-founded, reproducible and consistent colour choices.
