The NCS is represented in nineteen countries and is the reference norm for color designation in [[Sweden]] (since 1979), [[Norway]] (since 1984), [[Spain]] (since 1994) and [[South Africa]] (since 2004). It is also one of the standards used by the [[International Colour Authority]], a leading publisher of color trend forecasts for the [[interior design]] and textile markets.
