A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 33446 reads as a muted warm tan-beige with a slight yellow-brown undertone. It is medium-light rather than pale, with moderate depth and low chroma, so it looks subdued and earthy instead of bright or creamy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference is useful for touch-up and repaint work on panels, brackets, enclosures, housings, cabinets, tool carts, vents, railings, and fabricated support parts when the drawing or maintenance document calls for this code. It can also be used on mock-ups, training aids, and color-coded components where a consistent standard tan is needed across metal, plastic, composite, or previously coated surfaces.

Because this color is relatively restrained, it generally covers in a straightforward way once the coating is built to full film thickness, but the final appearance still depends on surface prep, substrate, and sheen. Darker or uneven substrates may show contrast through lighter coats, and gloss level can shift how warm or brown the color reads. Touch-up next to older, faded, or weathered coatings may reveal differences in aging even when the reference match is correct.

This is a MyPerfectColor match to the selected Fed Std 595C reference, not an official government-issued coating system. For acceptance-sensitive work, compare against the existing part or an approved sample when possible, since the code alone does not define chemistry, gloss, or project-specific compliance requirements.

About US Government Federal Standard (now Aerospace Material Specification / AMS) 595 Colors. Fed-Std-595C / FED STD 595 Colors

The Federal Standard (now Aerospace Material Specification / AMS) 595 colors are used to specify colors for US Government applications. The color are used by the US Government agencies, branches and suppliers. The most common requests we receive for Fed Standard Colors are for spray paint, Direct to Metal and other paints for prototyping, marking and identification and touchup applications. Typical clients include the USCG, all branches of the Armed Services, the State Department, Lockheed Martin and Boeing. For example, we provided paint to the Navy for marking shells with the specific Fed Std color designated to identify the type of round.

We offer 5 standard sheens in our lacquer touchup paint: flat, low lustre, satin, semi-gloss or gloss. We also offer a full range of Alkyd and Acrylic Direct To Metal paints. Please contact us if you have any questions. Please submit RFQs to [email protected]

The colors in the Federal Standard set have no official names and are identified by five-digits. The numbers designate the sheen, color classification and color intensity.

The first digit will be 1,2 or 3 and indicates the level of sheen:
    1 = gloss
    2 = semi gloss
    3 = matt

The second digit indicates the color group;
    0 = Brown     5 = Blue
    1 = Red         6 = Grey
    2 = Orange 7 = Other (white, black, violet, metallic)
    3 = Yellow     8 = Fluorescent
    4 = Green

The third to fifth digits indicate the intensity. Lower numbers indicates a darker color and higher numbers indicate a lighter color.

While the Fed Std colors indicate sheen as part of the 5 digits, MyPerfectColor still requires you to enter a specific sheen. For example, the color Fed Std 37038 technically refers to a matte finish, but MyPerfectColor offers it in any sheen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of US Government™ Fed Std 595C 33446 *

What does Fed Std 595C 33446 mean when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 33446 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself choose the product chemistry, gloss, surface prep, coating system, or any formal approval status.

When you order MyPerfectColor paint, you are buying a custom-matched paint made to match Fed Std 595C 33446, not an official government-issued coating system.

Will MyPerfectColor match Fed Std 595C 33446 exactly on an older painted part?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 33446 is the reference color, but an older in-service coating can look different because of fade, weathering, sheen change, texture, contamination, or a different original coating system.

If you are touching up next to an aged finish, the standard match may still look different from the surrounding area. In that case, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part can be a better choice than relying on the standard code alone.

How should I plan dry time for MyPerfectColor Fed Std 595C 33446 paint?

Dry time planning for Fed Std 595C 33446 depends on the specific MyPerfectColor product format you choose, such as spray paint or touch-up paint. Dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different milestones.

Use the product directions for the exact item you order and plan your project around those instructions. If the finish will be handled, assembled, or recoated, make sure you account for the full cure schedule, not just the dry-to-touch time.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match for Fed Std 595C 33446?

Before ordering a custom match for Fed Std 595C 33446, confirm the exact government color code, the product type you need, the finish, and the quantity. Those details help avoid ordering the wrong paint for the job.

Custom-matched color orders should be reviewed carefully before purchase because they are not returnable or refundable. If the project has a strict acceptance requirement, verify the specification before you place the order.
