the natural color system

one highlight of my past week was getting to learn all about the natural color system (ncs). representatives from their headquarters in sweden are in san francisco this week for the icsid/idsa congress convention, so they kindly stopped by our office to give us some education on the ncs concepts, research and functionality. we were all thoroughly impressed, to say the least. gone are the days of painstakingly trying to match paint color swatches to a piece of art and then praying the custom rug colors that appeared to match on the materials board will actually match when the rug is made and installed. or trying to match the color of quince flowers exactly because a client adores them, and never being able to get it quite right across different materials. ncs has an exact science for understanding, defining and creating color. the human eye can see more than 10 million different colors, and ncs is dedicated to giving us the tools to identify and share them.

{ncs is not offering design assistance, instead they have created one of the best design tools of the modern era. they've made an accessible science out of color and created a way to catalogue 1000's of colors in a language that can be shared in all countries, organizations and disciplines. so you can determine the exact color you want for branding purposes or design projects of all types and communicate that to any vendors anywhere to get the exact match you need every time}




{a plethora of wonderful tools to help you color match and identify the perfect hue and pigment are available ~ and tons of fun to play with. but you can also request to have custom color samples made, and they'll get you a custom color swatch within a week}
