A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 13432 is a vivid warm orange with a yellow-gold cast. It reads as saturated rather than muted, with enough depth to avoid looking pastel or washed out.

MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in this government color reference is useful for spray-painted panels, brackets, enclosures, housings, racks, tool handles, and color-coded hardware where the target is the specified Fed Std 595C code. It can also work for mock-ups, training parts, restoration pieces, and touch-up on fabricated components that need to align to the same reference.

Because this is a high-chroma color, coverage can take more attention over dark, uneven, or repaired substrates. Surface texture, film build, and sheen can change how bright or orange the color appears, and gloss finishes may make substrate variation easier to see.

This is a match to the selected government color standard, not an official government-issued coating system. For repair work next to aged or weathered paint, the standard reference may not fully match the existing surface if the original finish has faded, chalked, or changed sheen.

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 13432 *

What does Fed Std 595C 13432 mean, and does it define the full coating system?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 13432 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion system, application method, or formal approval status.

If your project needs a specific performance system, treat the color code and the coating system as separate decisions when ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to Fed Std 595C 13432.

Will Fed Std 595C 13432 match an older painted part exactly, or only the standard reference?

Fed Std 595C 13432 identifies the standard color reference, not the condition of an aged in-service coating. An older part may have faded, changed sheen, or developed texture differences that make a correct standard match look different next to the existing finish.

If the repair area must blend with weathered paint, a match to the existing part or a full-part repaint may be a better choice than matching only the code.

Before ordering Fed Std 595C 13432, what should I confirm since custom color matches are not returnable or refundable?

Before you order Fed Std 595C 13432, confirm the exact color code, the product type, the finish you need, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to a government color standard is custom made, so it should be reviewed carefully before purchase.

Because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, it is important to verify the specification details first so you avoid ordering the wrong format or the wrong version of the color.

How should I prepare metal or a previously coated surface before applying Fed Std 595C 13432?

For Fed Std 595C 13432, start with a clean, dry surface and remove oil, grease, dust, and loose coating before painting. On existing coatings, scuffing and a test area are often useful so you can confirm adhesion and appearance on the actual substrate.

If corrosion is present on metal, address it before coating. For mixed substrates or sensitive parts, test the MyPerfectColor match on the real surface before committing to the full job.

Does the finish affect how Fed Std 595C 13432 looks after application?

Yes. With Fed Std 595C 13432, gloss level, matte or satin finish, texture, and film build can all change how the matched color reads after application. The code gives you the color target, but the final appearance also depends on the finish and the way the paint is applied.

If visual consistency is important, make sure the finish you order matches the project requirement, not just the color code.
