About the product

The NCS INDEX 2050 Color Chart is the most widely used color reference tool by painting, design, and architecture professionals in Spain and throughout Europe. It contains all 2,050 standard NCS colors — including the 100 new ones launched in 2022 — ordered by hue according to the NCS color circle, with large samples and a navigation system that allows any color to be located in seconds. It is the official chart that supports AENOR's UNE 48103 Standard for standardized colors in paints.

Who needs this chart?

  • ✓ Professional painters working with NCS references in construction or renovation projects
  • ✓ Architects and interior designers who need to communicate color precisely to clients and suppliers
  • ✓ Decoration companies managing projects with multiple shades and finishes
  • ✓ Paint manufacturers who need to reliably validate and reproduce NCS colors
  • ✓ Graphic or product designers who work with the NCS system as a reference standard

Why choose the NCS INDEX 2050

  • 2,050 standard colors in a single volume — including the 100 new colors from 2022, the most complete collection of the NCS system in a compact format
  • Ordered by hue — classification based on the NCS color circle to make finding the correct color quick and intuitive, even on site
  • Large samples (22/26 mm) — sufficient surface area to compare colors on the actual substrate without confusion due to small sample size
  • Separate section for whites, grays, and blacks — the most used achromatic tones with low chromaticity are grouped separately for direct and quick access
  • Smart navigation tabs — each page has a tab in the upper corner with the NCS notation printed on each sample to locate shades without wasting time
  • ISO 9001 certified quality — produced in a single NCS quality center in Europe, with color control according to NCS level 1 (maximum color accuracy)
  • Official standard in Spain — the NCS system has been AENOR's UNE 48103 Standard since 1994 for standardized colors in paints; having the chart means having the standard in hand

Official Spanish standard UNE 48103 by AENOR — Standardized Colors for Paints

Official standard in Spain

The NCS system was adopted by AENOR as UNE 48103 Standard in 1994 and ratified in 2002 as the standard for designating and coding colors for paints. It is the most widely used color system in Spain and one of the most widespread in Europe for professional color communication in construction, design, and manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the NCS INDEX 2050 and the previous 1950-color version? +
The NCS INDEX 2050 incorporates the 100 new NCS colors launched in 2022, which especially expand the range of medium and earthy tones highly demanded in current decoration and interior design. If you already have the 1950 version, it is worth upgrading if you regularly work on projects where the client may request references for the new tones.
How is an NCS notation read? +
Each NCS color follows the format NCS XXXX-XYYY. The first two digits indicate the percentage of blackness (S = Schwarz), the next two the percentage of chromaticity (C), the letter the hue (R = red, Y = yellow, G = green, B = blue) and the final numbers the angle within that hue. For example, NCS 2030-Y90R reads: 20% blackness, 30% chromaticity, yellow hue strongly leaning towards red — a warm salmon. The chart prints the notation on each sample so you can read the code without consulting external tables.
Is it suitable for ordering colors from any paint manufacturer? +
Yes. The NCS system is universally recognized and most paint manufacturers in Spain and Europe work with NCS references in their mixers. With the notation from the chart, you can order the exact color from any supplier and get the same result regardless of the paint brand or mixer used.
Is it compatible with the RAL chart? +
NCS and RAL are two independent systems with different logics. The NCS INDEX 2050 only contains NCS references. If you need to work with both systems, there are approximate equivalence tables between NCS and RAL, although the equivalences are not exact as each system defines color with different criteria. For projects requiring both systems, check if the NCS INDEX 2050 + RAL version available in some references is suitable for you.
How long do NCS charts last and when should they be renewed? +
With intensive professional use, it is recommended to renew the chart every 2-3 years. Exposure to sunlight and continuous use can cause color samples to lose chromatic fidelity over time, which can lead to discrepancies when comparing a color on a work surface with the chart sample. Keeping the chart in appropriate conditions (without direct sun exposure and humidity) prolongs its useful life.
Why the NCS chart and not another color reference? +
The NCS system is the only one based on human visual perception of color, which makes it universally understandable without the need for technical knowledge of colorimetry. It is the official standard in Spain (UNE 48103) and the most used in architecture, painting, and interior design in Europe. Unlike other charts, NCS codes describe color in a way that any professional can interpret what shade to expect before seeing it, which reduces errors in communication between client, designer, and applicator.
