NATURAL COLOR SYSTEM

The Natural Color System (NCS) is a way to describe and categorize colors based on how humans perceive them. It is built around the way our eyes see the basic colors of red, yellow, green, and blue, and how these combine to form all other hues. NCS uses a code to specify colors, indicating their hue (color family), tone (lightness or darkness), and chroma (intensity or vividness). This system helps designers and manufacturers communicate and match colors accurately, ensuring consistency across products and environments. Essentially, NCS translates human color perception into a standardized, precise coding system.
