NCS S 3050-R10B
What color is NCS S 3050-R10B?
NCS is widely used in design, architecture, and industry, as it allows for precise communication and matching of colors.
The NCS color code consists of two parts: a hue code and a nuance code.
The hue code indicates the position of the color on the NCS color circle, which is divided into four basic colors: yellow (Y), red (R), blue (B), and green (G).
The hue code consists of two letters and a number, where the letters indicate the basic colors that are mixed to create the hue, and the number indicates the percentage of the second letter's color.
For example, R10B means a hue that is 10% blue and 90% red.
The nuance code indicates the blackness (s), chromaticness (c), and whiteness (w) of the color, which are the three attributes that define the color's nuance.
The nuance code consists of a letter S and two numbers, where the first number indicates the percentage of blackness, and the second number indicates the percentage of chromaticness.
The percentage of whiteness is calculated by subtracting the sum of blackness and chromaticness from 100.
For example, S 3050 means a nuance that is 30% black, 50% chromatic, and 20% white.
Therefore, NCS S 3050-R10B is a color that has a hue of 10% blue and 90% red, and a nuance of 30% black, 50% chromatic, and 20% white.
This color can be described as a dark and saturated pinkish-red, similar to the color of a rose or a raspberry.
