How-To Steps
The NCS Inspire 1058 fan deck is arranged into seven themes for intuitive navigation. Start by identifying the desired mood for your project. Use ‘INDEPENDENT’ for pure neutrals, ‘NATURE’ for organic tones, ‘STILL’ for subtle, deep colours, ‘PALE’ for near-whites, ‘INTENSE’ for strong accents, ‘RICH’ for luxurious deep shades, and ‘ESSENTIALS’ for a foundational selection covering the entire colour space. Use the colour notations on each strip for precise specification.
Recommendations
For optimal colour assessment, use the fan deck under controlled, neutral lighting conditions (e.g., D65 or D50). We recommend cross-referencing with larger A4 or A6 NCS samples for final client presentations and approvals to ensure perfect colour perception on a larger surface.
