Answer 1

NCS S 1020-Y40R is a standardized, light and muted, yellowish-red or orange color.

It can be broken down into four components:

S stands for standardized, meaning that the color is part of the NCS standard collection of 1,950 colors.
1020 indicates the blackness and chromaticness of the color.
The first two digits (10) represent the percentage of blackness, which is the degree of darkness of the color.
The second two digits (20) represent the percentage of chromaticness, which is the degree of saturation or purity of the color.
A higher value means a more saturated or pure color, while a lower value means a more grayish or muted color.
In this case, NCS S 1020-Y40R has 10% blackness and 20% chromaticness, which means it is a fairly light and muted color.
Y40R indicates the hue of the color.
The letter (Y) represents the main hue, which is one of the four elementary colors in the NCS system: yellow (Y), red (R), blue (B), and green (G).
The number (40) represents the percentage of deviation from the main hue towards the adjacent hue, which is the next elementary color in a clockwise direction on the NCS color circle.
The letter (R) represents the adjacent hue, which is red in this case.
In this case, NCS S 1020-Y40R has a hue that is 40% deviated from yellow towards red, which means it is a yellowish-red or orange color.
