A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 20475 is a warm, muted tan-beige with a slight yellow-brown undertone. It reads as a medium-light neutral with some earthy depth, rather than a pale cream or a saturated brown.

MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint is made to match the selected Fed Standard or AMS-STD-595 color reference for procurement, maintenance, fabrication, and restoration work. It is a match to the reference color, not an official government coating system, and the final appearance will still depend on the coating line, surface prep, and application method.

Custom spray paint in this color can be used on equipment panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, cabinets, vent covers, switch plates, support hardware, carts, and fabricated parts where a specified government-standard appearance is needed. It is also useful for touch-up on training aids, prototype assemblies, and color-coded accessories when the goal is to keep related parts visually aligned to the same reference.

Because this is a relatively light color, dark substrates or uneven repairs can show through more readily than they would in a deeper shade. Sheen, film build, and surface texture can also shift the color slightly lighter or warmer after application, and matching an aged in-service coating may require a sample panel or comparison to the existing part rather than relying on the code alone.

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 20475 *

What does AMS-STD-595 20475 mean when ordering paint from MyPerfectColor?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 20475 is a government color reference target. When you order it from MyPerfectColor, you are ordering paint custom-matched to that color standard, not an official government-issued coating system.

The code does not by itself choose the chemistry, gloss, surface prep, corrosion system, or approval status for your project, so those decisions still need to be made separately.

Will MyPerfectColor AMS-STD-595 20475 match an older in-service coating on my part?

It can match the standard reference, but an older coating may still look different because of weathering, fade, sheen change, texture, contamination, or a different prior coating system.

If the repair is next to an aged finish and visual blend is important, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part is sometimes the better choice than matching only the standard code.

Does the finish change how AMS-STD-595 20475 looks after application?

Yes. The color code defines the color target, but gloss level, matte or satin finish, texture, and film build can all change how AMS-STD-595 20475 appears after it is applied.

For best results, choose the finish that matches the project requirement or the existing surface as closely as possible, because the same color can read differently in different sheen levels.

How should I plan dry time and recoating for AMS-STD-595 20475?

There is no single dry time for AMS-STD-595 20475 because the schedule depends on the exact MyPerfectColor product format you select. Dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different milestones.

Use the product instructions for the selected paint, and plan for temperature, humidity, film build, substrate, and ventilation to affect timing. Do not move to the next step based only on the color code.

What should I confirm before ordering custom-matched AMS-STD-595 20475 from MyPerfectColor?

Before ordering, confirm the exact color code, the finish you need, the product type, and the quantity. If your project calls for a specific government reference, a project sample, or an existing part match, verify that requirement first.

Because custom color matches are not returnable or refundable, review the order details carefully before checkout so you do not receive the wrong match or the wrong product format.
