Import he NCS color system from .ase-file in SU
-
I know of no way to read in a swatch file and convert to material colour in SketchUp.
But if you can track down the equivalent NCS in .txt format with RGB values then you could use FredoTools to import it.
It would need to be in particular format which you can see here...

there are sources for the NCS colors and there are also online and github converters to get to rgb or hex which as Rich has pointed out could be imported from a text file.
e.g. source https://www.paintcolourchart.com/ncs-colors (which shows corresponding rgb, hex)
e.g. https://github.com/m90/ncs-color

Did you happen to find anything that would convert all of the colors to RGB or HEX in one go? I could only find converters for single colors.

i dumped the color list into a spreadsheet and ran the convert code to create the csv i attached to my original message.

i created a color file which can be imported by Fredo's Color Paint tool. colors are sorted in name order. since rgb leads in the file, sorting on rgb would be easy enough in case you want to see in color order vs name order...

I see that after my post.
And you beat me to the .txt file. I was just making one myself. Thanks for uploading it, though.
