NCS Gloss Scale

NCS Gloss Scale.

Different greyscale colours in combination with different gloss levels are used to identify how light and gloss affect colours.

NCS Gloss Scale is a collection of glossy samples with white, light grey, mid-grey and black colour samples that show how gloss appears at different lightness values. A useful tool when the gloss level is to be defined and specified for different surfaces and materials. The collection contains seven even gloss levels (from full matt to full gloss) for every colour on the greyscale. The tool makes it possible to compare, analyse and define gloss on any surface.
