Black Friday week: Get our API at a special price. Get it now. Get more detailed color conversion results - perfect for web projects, plugins, internal tools or SaaS applications. Valid from 2025-11-24 up to and including 2025-11-30 (23:59 CET)
First enter the color code to find the conversion and the best matching colors. After that, you can create palettes by clicking on and download color samples.
If you want to match Farrow & Ball colors with Scandinavian or architectural color systems, you can convert Farrow & Ball to NCS®. The distinctive, pigment-rich shades from the British manufacturer are transferred into the Natural Color System color space, which is based on human color perception.
The conversion from Farrow & Ball to NCS is ideal for architects, interior designers, and planners who want to represent Farrow & Ball color schemes consistently in CAD software, tender documents, or international projects. qConv analyzes the LAB values of the original color and finds the visually closest NCS equivalent.
Because Farrow & Ball paints are based on handcrafted formulas using natural pigments, the conversion from Farrow & Ball to NCS may result in slight variations in brightness and saturation. qConv compensates for these differences through colorimetric calculations and displays the best matching NCS color code.
How does the conversion work?
In the conversion from Farrow & Ball to NCS, the LAB values of the Farrow & Ball colors are compared with the 2050 tones in the NCS® system. qConv uses Delta-E color difference to determine the visually closest tone and displays the corresponding NCS code – for example, NCS S 2005-Y50R.
For instance, the popular color Farrow & Ball “Elephant’s Breath” corresponds to a light grey-beige NCS tone, while Farrow & Ball “Hague Blue” is close to a deep NCS S 7020-R90B. qConv automatically displays this conversion from Farrow & Ball to NCS, including LAB comparison, deviation, and visual preview.
This color conversion from Farrow & Ball to NCS is particularly useful when working in CAD, architecture, or design projects using the NCS standard but planning with or reproducing Farrow & Ball color concepts.
Example & Application
Example: Farrow & Ball “Skimming Stone” roughly corresponds to NCS S 2002-Y50R. qConv precisely calculates this conversion from Farrow & Ball to NCS and also suggests alternatives if you prefer warmer or cooler tones.
The conversion from Farrow & Ball to NCS is ideal for international architecture projects, renovations, or color schemes where brand-specific colors must be translated into standardized systems. qConv provides accurate comparisons, simplifying collaboration between designers, painters, and architects.
Our tip: Use the NCS conversion to integrate Farrow & Ball catalog colors into digital planning tools or color communication systems. qConv shows you the nearest NCS color, LAB distance, and visually matching alternatives – fast, precise, and practical.
* Note:
qConv.com searches for the next matching color from the selected color palette. In most cases, there will be minimal or apparent color differences because there is not an exact match for every color.

Tips for Designers & Interior Architects
Choose Farrow & Ball if you value natural materials and artisanal quality. qConv helps you find precise digital equivalents for visualizations and design presentations.
The NCS® – Natural Color System – is a scientifically based color model that describes how humans perceive color. Unlike technical models such as RGB or CMYK, NCS is built on visual perception and defines colors based on their similarity to six elementary colors: white, black, yellow, red, blue, and green.
Each NCS color is identified by a systematic code that represents its visual characteristics, for example NCS S 1080-Y70R. The system provides a logical structure that allows designers, architects, and manufacturers to communicate color accurately across industries. Since April 2022, an additional 100 new colors have been added, bringing the total to 2,050 shades in the current NCS collection.
Usage
The NCS® color system is widely used in architecture, product design, and industrial manufacturing. It helps professionals create harmonies based on human color perception and enables accurate matching between digital design, paint, and materials. NCS colors are used by major paint manufacturers, design firms, and universities worldwide.
The system is also valuable for color psychology and environmental design, as it allows designers to work with perception-based contrasts and mood settings rather than purely technical color codes.
Tips for Designers & Architects
When working with NCS, focus on the relationship between hue, chromaticness, and blackness. Colors closer to white or black are ideal for subtle backgrounds, while saturated hues create striking focal points. NCS values can be easily converted to digital formats such as RGB, HEX, or CMYK using tools like qConv.
With qConv, you can search all 2,050 NCS® tones, including the 2022 additions. Simply enter “2022” in the search field to discover the newest colors.
