A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 22190 reads as a dark, warm red-orange with a clear yellow-red bias and little grayness. It has a relatively low lightness value, so the color looks deep rather than bright, while the high chroma keeps it from appearing muted.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this selected Fed Standard or AMS-STD-595 color reference can be used on equipment panels, enclosures, brackets, access covers, housings, carts, switch plates, hardware, and fabricated parts that need to stay aligned with a government color standard. It is also a practical choice for maintenance touch-up, prototype parts, training aids, and color-coded components where the reference color matters more than a decorative match.

Because this is a saturated, relatively dark color, finish, film build, and substrate condition can change how it reads after application. Coverage over a darker or uneven base may take extra care, and gloss can make scratches, texture, and edge repair more noticeable. If you are matching an older in-service coating, a standard-reference match may not look the same as a weathered or sun-faded original.

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 22190 *

What does Fed Std 595C 22190 mean when ordering MyPerfectColor paint, and what does it not tell me?

Fed Std 595C 22190 identifies the color reference target only. It tells you which government color standard MyPerfectColor should match, but it does not select the paint chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or approval status for your project.

If your job needs a specific coating system or performance requirement, choose that separately from the color reference.

Will MyPerfectColor match Fed Std 595C 22190 on a touch-up next to an older coating, or can the existing finish still look different?

Even if the color code is correct, a touch-up next to an older in-service coating can still look different. Weathering, fade, sheen, texture, and prior coating differences can all change how Fed Std 595C 22190 appears after application.

For a highly visible repair, a full-part repaint or matching the existing part may be the better choice than relying on the standard code alone.

Before I order MyPerfectColor matched to Fed Std 595C 22190, what should I confirm so I do not order the wrong product?

Confirm the exact government color code, the product type, the finish, and the quantity before you place the order. For custom-matched paint, these details matter because the order is made to your selected reference and should be reviewed carefully before purchase.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the specification before ordering.

When is a Fed Std 595C 22190 match from MyPerfectColor not enough for project acceptance?

A standard color-code match may not be enough when the procurement package, engineering authority, or acceptance process requires more than the reference color alone. In those cases, you may need a sample panel, an existing-part match, or a project-specific approval step.

If the work is inspection-critical or must match an approved coating system, do not assume the Fed Std 595C 22190 code by itself will satisfy the requirement.

How can finish affect the look of Fed Std 595C 22190 when I order MyPerfectColor paint?

Finish can change how Fed Std 595C 22190 appears after application. Gloss, matte, satin, texture, and film build all affect the final look, even when the color match itself is correct.

If you are matching an existing part, make sure the finish is considered as part of the order, not just the color code.
