Von Hex zu NCS® umrechnen

Kurzerklärung

Wenn du eine digitale Farbe aus dem Web oder aus Designsoftware für Architektur oder Innenausbau übernehmen möchtest, kannst du sie mit qConv von Hex zu NCS® umrechnen. Dabei wird der Farbwert aus dem Hexadezimalformat #RRGGBB in das Natural Color System (NCS) übertragen.

Das Umrechnen von Hex in NCS ermöglicht es, digitale Farben präzise in physische Farbsysteme zu übertragen – etwa für Wandfarben, Lackierungen oder Produktdesign. qConv analysiert die RGB-Werte des Hex-Codes, wandelt sie in den LAB-Farbraum um und bestimmt daraus den nächstliegenden NCS-Farbton.

Da NCS auf der menschlichen Farbwahrnehmung basiert, bietet die Konvertierung von Hex zu NCS eine realitätsnahe Darstellung deiner digitalen Farben in der physischen Welt – ideal für Architekten, Designer und Hersteller.

Wie funktioniert die Umrechnung?

Bei der Umrechnung von Hex zu NCS wird der Hex-Wert zuerst in RGB zerlegt und dann über den LAB-Farbraum in das NCS-System übertragen. qConv gleicht den LAB-Wert mit der NCS-Datenbank ab und wählt den wahrnehmbar ähnlichsten NCS-Ton aus.

Beispiel: #C8102E (ein kräftiges Rot) entspricht ungefähr NCS S 1080-Y70R. qConv zeigt zusätzlich alternative NCS-Töne, LAB-Differenzen (ΔE) und RGB-Referenzen an.

Diese Hex-NCS-Umrechnung ist besonders hilfreich, wenn du Webfarben in reale Oberflächen, Lacke oder Innenraumkonzepte übersetzen möchtest.

Beispiel & Anwendung

Ein Beispiel: Die Webfarbe #1E3A8A (ein tiefes Blau) ergibt in NCS etwa NCS S 4550-R90B. Mit qConv kannst du diese Umrechnung von Hex zu NCS direkt online durchführen und Farbabweichungen präzise bewerten.

Die Konvertierung von Hex in NCS ist unverzichtbar für Designer, die digitale Markenfarben auf physische Materialien übertragen müssen. qConv bietet dir dabei eine exakte Farbübersetzung und professionelle Vergleichswerte.

Tipp: Verwende qConv, um deine Webfarben zusätzlich in Systeme wie RAL, Pantone oder CMYK zu konvertieren – für konsistente Farben in allen Medien.

* 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.

Hexadecimal Color Space

Short Description

The hexadecimal color system is one of the most widely used methods for representing colors in digital media. It combines the three primary colors — Red, Green, and Blue — and expresses their values using hexadecimal notation. Each color component is represented by two characters, forming a six-digit code such as #FF5733.

The first two digits represent red, the middle two green, and the last two blue. The range of each pair goes from 00 to FF, corresponding to 0–255 in decimal values. With this structure, there are a total of 16,777,216 possible hexadecimal colors, covering nearly the full visible RGB color range.

Usage

Hexadecimal color codes are the standard for web design, front-end development, and digital branding. They are supported in HTML, CSS, SVG, and nearly all design applications. HEX values are compact, easy to read, and ideal for defining precise colors in digital interfaces, animations, and style sheets.

In professional design workflows, HEX values are often used alongside RGB or HSL to ensure consistency across screens. Designers can also use HEX-to-RGB conversions to fine-tune colors for print simulations or cross-platform visual harmony.

Tips for Designers & Developers

When creating color palettes, group HEX values that share visual harmony — for instance, complementary or analogous combinations. Use lowercase HEX (e.g. #a1b2c3) for better readability and code consistency.

With qConv, you can instantly convert HEX colors into RGB, CMYK, or Pantone® equivalents, generate gradients, or explore related shades and tints. Perfect for designers and developers seeking pixel-perfect color accuracy.

NCS® Color System (Natural Color System)

Short Description

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.
