Promotion: colour communication brand NCS Colour has updated its NCS System with 100 low chromatic colours to offer users pale pastel colours and hues that aim to evoke the Nordic light.
The new Standard colour range is developed for interior, exterior and product design projects where these colours are frequently used, according to NCS Colour.
The colour groups include White Delight
The colours have been divided into four groups, including White Delight, a collection of pastel colours. These are tinted colours that have a slight chromaticness ? a combination of a colour's hue and saturation.
NCS Colour also launched the Blackish Elegance collection of "modern, dark colours" that it says can be used to emphasise lighter and more chromatic details, and Great Greys, which features toned-down greige nuances between beige and grey. Nordic Midtones references Nordic light
The final colour group, Nordic Midtones, aims to evoke "the famous Nordic light", the brand said.
It focuses on colours that NCS Colour says are frequently used in Nordic design and includes hues that are both a bit darker and more colourful than those in the other groups.
It is the first time in almost twenty years that the colour chart has been updated, taking the number of Standard colours from 1950 to 2050.
Blackish Delight is among the new colour groups
According to the company, the low chromatic colours are the most commonly used in NCS.
