NCS®© Colour, a new colour resource

ncs_stardust

From February, Stardust Powder Coatings' range of colours has expanded dramatically. Thanks to the premium partnership and licensing agreement with NCS®© Colour, some 1,950 new colours are offered alongside those of the Pantone and RAL systems.

NCS - Natural Colour System®© was established in Stockholm (Sweden), where it is based, in the 1960s using an interdisciplinary approach. It is all about the scientific organisation and classification of colours according to how they are perceived.

The current selection of 1950 official colours available in our marketed products are subject to a rigorous quality control process, during which the faithfulness between the reproduced sample and the original is constantly monitored (Primary Standard). The NCS®© Quality Control Centre is ISO 9001 certified and guarantees production based on the exclusive use of pigments approved by the European Union.

Since the system is not affected by differences in materials and manufacturing processes, it can be applied to a wide variety of areas of design and production. For Stardust, which specialises in powder coating products for metals, each shade can be inflected with a variety of finishes (smooth, crumpled, textured, and hammered .) and effects (transparent, metallic, etc., with opacity ranging from super-opaque to super-shiny).

NCS's®© world of colours is available on different types of paper sample (Colour Atlases, fan books, individual sheets) but also on digital devices. Stardust also has a swatch book with a customised cover.

Through the adoption of the NCS®© Colour System, Stardust Powder Coatings can “help” businesses and professionals with their shade selection with safety and simplicity, both during the design phase and in the manufacturing of the shade, guaranteeing faithful reproduction of the paper sample with the certainty of a result in accordance with expectation.
