Lead with Quality & Relevance

For professionals across coatings, architecture, and design, colour accuracy is more than an aesthetic concern – it’s a foundational requirement. Now, a newly released quality report from NCS Colour reveals why their tools continue to outperform industry standards in visual consistency, production reliability, and cross-material alignment.

Quality that Goes Beyond the Standard

As detailed in the newly released 2025 Quality Report from NCS Colour, over 95% of colour samples in the NCS Index meet Class A tolerance, outperforming common industry benchmarks. Every sample is coated, not printed, and verified through a rigorous three-step QC process covering pigment match, gloss level (ISO 2813), and visual calibration under D65, A, and F11 lighting conditions.

These metrics confirm what many global manufacturers have already experienced, NCS tools deliver colour consistency that reduces costly rework, accelerates approvals, and supports precision at scale.

Industry Application & Trust

In the coatings sector especially, where colour consistency defines both product integrity and customer satisfaction, fan decks are more than reference tools, they’re strategic assets.
NCS fan decks are trusted by industry leaders including Jotun, AkzoNobel, and Tarkett, and used by teams globally to ensure colour accuracy from creative development through to tinting, QA, and marketing.

Flexible Tools, Built for Integration

Recognising that every brand and workflow is different, NCS also offers advanced customization, from branded covers and tailored content pages to format flexibility and localisation.
This allows manufacturers and producers to integrate colour tools into internal systems or client presentations, transforming fan decks into extensions of their brand experience.
