The NCS WS 160 displays the most popular blacks, whites and tinted greys in one handy fan.
All designers and manufacturers work with neutral colours on a regular basis. NCS WS 160 visualises colours in the greyscale area where colourising products and settings can be challenging. The larger colour samples give a good visual indication of the darkness or lightness of the colours.
Thanks to the logic of the NCS System it is visually easy to identify and compare colours that are related to each other, based on NCS nuance such as blackness, whiteness, chromaticness and NCS lightness values.
NCS – Natural Colour System® is a scientifically based colour system that allows for accurate cross-industrial colour communication for designers and manufacturers, retailers and customers. Since NCS is based on how we perceive colour visually, the system allows you to describe colour on all imaginable surfaces. This has made the colour system a global standard for definition, quality assurance and communication of colour. All surface colours can be described with a NCS Notation.
