A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 22544 reads as a warm, medium-depth orange with a clear yellow undertone. It is a fairly strong, clean color rather than a muted earth tone, so the orange character stays visible under normal lighting and finish conditions.

For spray-paint use, this color can work on equipment panels, housings, brackets, control boxes, support hardware, tool carts, and fabricated parts that need a repeatable government reference color. It also fits smaller sprayed items such as switch covers, vent surrounds, trim rings, rack labels, handheld enclosures, and prototype components where a distinct orange identification color is required.

Because the color is relatively saturated, coverage can show more clearly over dark, uneven, or textured substrates, and additional coats may be needed for even hiding. Sheen, film build, and surface texture can all shift how yellow or orange the finish appears after application. When touching up an existing part, the standard reference may not exactly match aged paint that has faded, chalked, or lost gloss.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Fed Standard 595C reference is intended for specification-driven repair, fabrication, restoration, and prototyping work. The code identifies the color target, but it does not by itself define coating chemistry, gloss level, preparation method, or acceptance requirements for a project.

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 22544 *

What does Fed Std 595C 22544 mean, and does it define the whole coating system?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 22544 is a government color reference target. It tells you the color to match, but it does not by itself define the paint chemistry, gloss, surface prep, corrosion protection, or any formal approval status.

If your project needs a specific coating system or acceptance standard, confirm those requirements separately before ordering. MyPerfectColor can supply paint matched to Fed Std 595C 22544, but the color code alone does not guarantee compliance.

Will Fed Std 595C 22544 match an existing aged finish on my part, or only the standard color reference?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 22544 is a match to the standard reference, not a promise to match an aged in-service coating. Weathering, fading, sheen changes, texture, and prior coating differences can make the repaired area look different even when the code is correct.

If you are touching up next to an older finish, a full-part repaint or an existing-part match may be the better choice. For critical repairs, compare against the actual part or a sample panel before committing to the job.

What kinds of projects commonly use Fed Std 595C 22544?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 22544 is commonly used for specification-driven work such as equipment parts, panels, enclosures, brackets, housings, fabricated components, training aids, mock-ups, and color-coded hardware. It is a practical reference for government, military, maintenance, fabrication, and prototyping jobs.

MyPerfectColor paint matched to Fed Std 595C 22544 is appropriate when the project calls for a repeatable government color reference rather than a decorative or home paint choice.

How should I plan dry time and recoating for Fed Std 595C 22544 paint?

Dry-to-touch, recoat timing, and full cure are different stages, and the right schedule depends on the specific product format you order. Fed Std 595C 22544 only identifies the color target; it does not set the drying or recoat window.

Use the application instructions for the exact MyPerfectColor product you select, and plan around the substrate, film thickness, temperature, and ventilation. If the part must go back into service quickly, confirm the recoat and cure needs before starting.

Is Fed Std 595C 22544 enough to choose the right paint for interior, exterior, or harsh service use?

No. Fed Std 595C 22544 tells you the color reference, but you still need to choose a product that fits the service environment. Interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, chemical contact, and substrate type can all affect which paint format is appropriate.

For government-spec work, match the color reference first, then choose the product chemistry and format that fit the part and its operating conditions. MyPerfectColor offers custom-matched paint to Fed Std 595C 22544 in formats suited to different project needs, but the color code itself does not determine durability.
