A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 13594 reads as a warm, light yellow-beige with a soft tan undertone. It is brighter than a muted khaki, but it is not a clean yellow; the color has enough chroma to look distinct without becoming vivid.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference is useful for panels, enclosures, brackets, electrical covers, hardware, and fabricated parts where a specified yellow-tan finish is needed. It can also be used on switch plates, vents, cable trays, field boxes, machine guards, and training or prototype components when the goal is a repeatable color target across metal or plastic.
Because this is a lighter, moderately chromatic color, substrate color and surface preparation can affect coverage. Darker primers, scratches, or uneven repairs may show through more easily than they would under a deeper color, and sheen or texture differences can shift how warm the finish appears. On touch-up work beside an older coating, the matched color may not read exactly the same as weathered paint.
For inspection-sensitive or acceptance-critical work, treat the standard code as the color target rather than proof of compliance or a match to an aged in-service coating. If the part already has sun fade, wear, or a project-specific finish requirement, a sample panel or a match to the existing part may be more reliable.

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.
AMS-STD-595 13594 identifies a government color reference target. It tells you what color to match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss, surface prep, corrosion system, or formal approval status.
When you order, treat it as a match to AMS-STD-595 13594, not as an official government-issued coating system.
Not always. A correct match to AMS-STD-595 13594 can still look different next to an older coating because weathering, fade, sheen, texture, and prior paint differences change how the color reads on the part.
If the repair is beside an aged or highly visible finish, a sample panel, an existing-part match, or a full-part repaint may be the better choice than relying on the standard code alone.
Reorder by the exact code AMS-STD-595 13594, and keep the same product type and finish you used before whenever possible. That gives you the best chance of a consistent repeat result from MyPerfectColor paint matched to the same government color reference.
Even with the same code, substrate, film build, and application method can still change the final appearance, so match the full order details as closely as you can.
No. AMS-STD-595 13594 only defines the color target. It does not tell you whether the right product is based on interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, chemical exposure, or the substrate you are coating.
Choose the MyPerfectColor product type to fit the service environment first, then use AMS-STD-595 13594 as the color reference.
A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 13594 can be ordered in MyPerfectColor formats such as spray paint, touch-up paint, paint pens, and other available options depending on the project need.
The color code is the reference target, while the format you choose should match how you plan to apply the paint and what the part requires.
MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.
