NCS S 1080-Y30R can be described as follows:

The letter S stands for standardized color, meaning that it is one of the 1,950 colors in the NCS standard color atlas.
The first number 1080 indicates the blackness of the color, which is the percentage of black in the color.
A higher number means a darker color.
In this case, the blackness is 10%.
The letter Y stands for yellow, which is the dominant hue of the color.
The hue is the basic color impression of an object.
NCS has four elementary hues: yellow (Y), red (R), blue (B), and green (G).
The number 80 indicates the chromaticness of the color, which is the percentage of hue in the color.
A higher number means a more saturated or pure color.
In this case, the chromaticness is 80%.
The letter R stands for red, which is the secondary hue of the color.
The secondary hue is the hue that is mixed with the dominant hue to create the color.
NCS has four secondary hues: yellow-red (YR), red-blue (RB), blue-green (BG), and green-yellow (GY).
The number 30 indicates the nuance of the color, which is the proportion of the secondary hue in the color.
A higher number means a higher proportion of the secondary hue.
In this case, the nuance is 30%.

To summarize, NCS S 1080-Y30R is a standardized color with 10% blackness, 80% chromaticness, and a yellow hue with 30% red nuance.

It is a bright and warm orange color, similar to the color of a ripe apricot.
