NCS COLOURS BEYOND 2026+

A dark blue embraces and entangles several lighter colours for collective growth and coexistence - mutual empowerment where human intelligence, ai, and nature unite toward a brighter tomorrow.

Symbiosis

The colour palette

The palette of emphasises the coexistence and interdependence of us, the human beings, our nature and technology. We have for long addressed the importance of co-existence with our nature, introducing Biophilia to our design. From Biophilia, we turned to embracing our nature, to become one with our nature - a total submersion. Our designs are more and more focused to create designs where nature is perceived as a given element.

How to combine

The deep reddish-blue hero colour, NCS S 6030-R70B, takes center stage, infusing the space with depth and intensity, while the supporting palette introduces warmth, light, and complementary vibrancy. Together, they create an environment where human intelligence, nature, and technology coexist in perfect harmony, fostering a forward-looking and symbiotic atmosphere. By strategically applying the supporting colours to walls, panels, or furnishings, you can achieve an inspired balance between boldness and subtlety.

When paired with metallic accents or soft neutrals, this composition gains an added dimension—transforming interiors into spaces of collective strength and visionary innovation. Metallic finishes enhance the hero colour’s dynamic presence, while neutral tones provide a grounding effect, ensuring a refined yet powerful aesthetic. The result is an interior that not only feels cohesive but also encourages creativity, connection, and progress.
