A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 15200 reads as a cool blue-green with a cyan lean and moderate chroma. It is cleaner than a muted gray-blue, but it is not highly saturated, so the color tends to stay defined without looking overly bright.

This is a government color reference match, so MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint is intended to follow the selected Fed Standard 595C or AMS-STD-595 target, not to supply an official government coating system. On an existing part, a fresh match to the standard can differ from an aged coating that has faded, weathered, or changed sheen in service.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint in this color can be used on panels, enclosures, brackets, housings, vents, switch covers, hardware, and fabricated support parts where a consistent blue-green finish is needed across metal, plastic, or composite surfaces. It is also practical for color-coding carts, racks, training aids, mock-up pieces, and restoration parts when the project calls for a repeatable reference color rather than a visual guess.

Because this is a moderately saturated color, coverage can be more sensitive to the substrate than with a darker neutral, especially over black or uneven surfaces. Finish, film build, and texture can shift how green or blue the color reads, and gloss can make surface condition and sheen differences more noticeable. For acceptance-critical work, matching the actual part or reviewing a sample panel may be useful when the surrounding coating is aged or project-controlled.

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™ AMS-STD-595 15200 *

What does AMS-STD-595 15200 tell me when I order MyPerfectColor paint?

AMS-STD-595 15200 identifies a government color reference target. It tells you which color MyPerfectColor should match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or approval status for your project.

If your drawing, manual, or procurement package calls out AMS-STD-595 15200, order the product format that fits the job and confirm any additional coating requirements separately.

Will MyPerfectColor paint matched to AMS-STD-595 15200 match an existing in-service finish exactly?

Not always. A correct match to AMS-STD-595 15200 can still look different next to an older coating that has faded, weathered, changed sheen, or been built on a different substrate.

If the repair is beside an aged part and visual consistency is critical, a sample match to the existing part or a full-part repaint may be a better choice than matching the standard chip alone.

How should I plan dry time and recoat timing for AMS-STD-595 15200 paint from MyPerfectColor?

Dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages, so plan the job using the instructions for the exact product format you ordered. A spray paint, touch-up paint, or other format may have different handling and recoat windows.

Do not assume the color code AMS-STD-595 15200 tells you the schedule. Use the product directions for timing between coats, handling, and final use.

What surface prep should I use before applying AMS-STD-595 15200 MyPerfectColor paint?

For a good result, clean the surface, remove grease and contaminants, and prepare the substrate in a way that fits the material and condition of the part. On existing coatings, scuffing and a test spot can help confirm adhesion and appearance before doing the full area.

If you are painting metal, watch for corrosion or coating failure that may need correction first. For mixed substrates or unknown existing finishes, test on the actual surface before committing to the whole project.

Can the finish change how AMS-STD-595 15200 looks after application?

Yes. Gloss, satin, matte, texture, and film build can all change how AMS-STD-595 15200 appears after it is applied, even when the color match itself is correct.

If your project needs a specific visual result, choose the finish that matches the specification or existing part as closely as possible. The color code alone does not control the final appearance.
