NCS is widely used in design, architecture, and industry as a standard for color communication and quality control.
The NCS color code consists of six characters that describe the color's hue, blackness, and chromaticness.
The second 2 characters are the digits from 00 to 99 that indicates the percentage of blackness, where 0 is the lightest and 99 is the darkest.
The third and fourth characters are a digit and a letter that indicate the chromaticness.
NCS S 0505-Y30R means that the color is a single hue with 5% blackness, 5% chromaticness and 30% red as the hue, and 70% yellow.
In other words, it is a very light and pale pink color with a slight yellowish tint.
