NCS Colour's 80th year anniversary

We are happy to announce that 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of NCS Colour. Stay tuned for more information of our anniversary celebration in our social media channels!

Colour revival in Trend Retrospective

In celebration of International Colour Day and NCS Colour’s 80th anniversary, all previous forecast collections have been made available in NCS+. Trends in colour continuously evolve, with certain palettes making a return over time. Now, as part of “NCS Trend Retrospective,” we are revisiting our archives to bring back past colour collections.

Colour is our first impression of any item or space, and a great colour can make or break a design. The more accurately you can determine the correct colour, the more likely you are to succeed. Since 2011, NCS has helped designers, brands and creatives stay ahead by providing an annual colour forecast together with international CMF experts.
Thanks to the colour language of NCS, every shade is precisely identified and archived. Explore the four distinct colour directions from each year in NCS+ today to rediscover the trends that have shaped design over time. Celebrate colour!
