Introduction to colour combinations

Every NCS colour has defined set of characteristics, including its blackness, chromaticness (together forming the nuance), whiteness, hue and lightness.

Based on these properties for any given colour, you can find other colours that harmonise according to NCS based on their similarities with respect to these properties.

Examples

  • S 3050-G40Y and 3060-R90B can be said to harmonise based on their shared level of blackness.
