NCS S 3040-R30B

NCS S 3040-R30B is a shade of purple with some red and blue.

If you want to paint your wall or your car with this hue
You’ll need to know the CMYK and RGB values too
They are C 0 M 70 Y 0 K 40 and R 149 G 68 B 107, that’s true
But don’t trust your screen too much, it might deceive you

NCS S 3040-R30B is a nice color, I agree
But it’s not very easy to say or to spell, gee
Maybe you can give it a nickname, something catchy
Like Purple Rain or Lavender Dream or Berry Tea

Far away, in the bustling city of Chromaville, where every building was a canvas and every street a palette, lived two unlikely friends: Virgil Ford, the eccentric artist, and Tommy Rodriguez, the meticulous engineer. Their friendship was as vibrant as the colors Virgil loved to splash on his canvases and as precise as the blueprints Tommy meticulously drafted.

One sunny afternoon, Virgil burst into Tommy's workshop, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Tommy, my friend, I've discovered the most magnificent color! It's called NCS S 3040-R30B. It's a shade of red with a hint of blue, and it's going to revolutionize the world of art!"

Tommy, who was in the middle of calibrating a complex machine, looked up with a raised eyebrow. "Virgil, you say that about every new color you find. What's so special about this one?"

Virgil waved a hand dramatically. "This color, my dear Tommy, is the perfect blend of passion and tranquility. It's bold yet soothing, vibrant yet calming. It's the color of dreams!"

Tommy chuckled. "Alright, Virgil. Let's see this miracle color of yours."

Virgil pulled out a small vial of paint and a brush. With a flourish, he painted a stroke of NCS S 3040-R30B on a canvas. The color was indeed mesmerizing, a rich, deep hue that seemed to dance in the light.

Tommy nodded appreciatively. "I must admit, it's quite striking. But how do you plan to use it?"

Virgil grinned. "That's where you come in, my friend. I want to paint the entire town with this color. Imagine it! Chromaville, the city of NCS S 3040-R30B!"

Tommy's eyes widened. "The entire town? Virgil, that's a massive undertaking. We'd need to calculate the exact amount of paint, ensure it's weather-resistant, and coordinate with the city council. It's not as simple as just painting a canvas."

Virgil's enthusiasm was undeterred. "I know it's a big task, but with your engineering skills and my artistic vision, we can make it happen!"

Tommy sighed, knowing there was no stopping Virgil once he set his mind to something. "Alright, let's do it. But we'll need a plan."

And so, the two friends set to work. Tommy calculated the amount of paint needed, taking into account the surface area of every building in Chromaville. He designed a special weather-resistant formula to ensure the color would last for years. Meanwhile, Virgil rallied the townspeople, sharing his vision of a city bathed in the glorious hue of NCS S 3040-R30B.

The project was not without its challenges. There were skeptics who doubted the practicality of painting an entire town one color. There were logistical hurdles, like coordinating the painting crews and ensuring the paint was applied evenly. But Virgil and Tommy tackled each obstacle with determination and creativity.

One day, as they were painting the town square, a little girl approached them. "Mr. Virgil, Mr. Tommy, why are you painting everything red?"

Virgil knelt down to her level, his eyes twinkling. "Because, my dear, this color represents the heart and soul of our town. It's a reminder that we can be bold and brave, yet calm and peaceful. It's a symbol of our unity and our dreams."

The girl smiled. "I like it. It's pretty."

As the weeks passed, Chromaville began to transform. The buildings, once a mishmash of colors, now gleamed with the rich, harmonious hue of NCS S 3040-R30B. The townspeople, initially skeptical, began to embrace the change. They marveled at how the color seemed to bring a sense of cohesion and beauty to their city.

One evening, as the sun set and the town glowed with the warm, inviting shade, Virgil and Tommy stood on a hill overlooking Chromaville. "We did it, Tommy," Virgil said, a note of pride in his voice.

Tommy nodded. "Yes, we did. And you were right, Virgil. This color... it's something special."

Virgil grinned. "I told you, my friend. Sometimes, all it takes is a little color to change the world."

And so, Chromaville became known as the city of NCS S 3040-R30B, a testament to the power of creativity and collaboration. Virgil and Tommy's colorful conundrum had turned into a masterpiece, one that would be remembered for generations to come.
