A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 25177 is a cool, muted blue-gray with a slight green cast and medium-dark depth. It reads subdued rather than bright, and the low chroma keeps it closer to an equipment finish than a vivid color.

MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match AMS-STD-595 25177 is a practical choice when the color code is the target for procurement, maintenance, fabrication, or restoration work. The standard number identifies the color reference, but it does not by itself define gloss, coating chemistry, or approval status.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint in this color can be used on electrical enclosures, control panels, brackets, housings, machine guards, rack components, switch covers, carts, and small fabricated parts. It also fits touch-up work on support hardware and color-coded components where a consistent government-standard appearance is needed across metal, plastic, or composite surfaces.

Because the color is medium-dark and fairly muted, it should cover normally, but sheen, texture, and substrate color can still change the final look. If you are matching an aged in-service coating, weathering or gloss loss may make the existing part read differently from the standard reference. For acceptance-critical work, a sample panel or match to the actual part is often safer 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 25177 *

What does AMS-STD-595 25177 tell me, and what does it not tell me, when ordering paint?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 25177 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color MyPerfectColor should match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion system, or any formal approval status.

If your project needs a specific product type or a compliance-controlled coating system, confirm those requirements separately before ordering.

Will MyPerfectColor matched to AMS-STD-595 25177 be an exact touch-up match on an older painted part?

Not always. If you are repairing next to an in-service coating, weathering, fade, sheen change, texture, and differences in the existing paint can make the repaired area look different even when the code match is correct.

For aged or critical visible repairs, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part may be a better choice than matching AMS-STD-595 25177 alone.

What kinds of projects typically use a match of AMS-STD-595 25177?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 25177 is typically used for specification-driven work such as equipment parts, panels, enclosures, brackets, housings, fixtures, training aids, mock-ups, and color-coded hardware.

It is a practical choice when a drawing, maintenance document, or procurement package calls out the government color reference and you need MyPerfectColor paint matched to that standard.

Can I return a custom MyPerfectColor order for AMS-STD-595 25177 if I picked the wrong format or quantity?

Custom color matches should be reviewed carefully before purchase because the exact government color code, product type, finish, and quantity all need to be correct before you order.

For AMS-STD-595 25177, confirm the reference, the format you need, and the amount required before placing the order, since custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable.

Why can AMS-STD-595 25177 look different after application even if the color match is correct?

The code defines the color target, but the final appearance also depends on gloss, matte or satin finish, texture, film build, and the substrate underneath. Those factors can make AMS-STD-595 25177 read lighter, darker, flatter, or more reflective after application.

If appearance is critical, choose the finish carefully and test the product on your actual surface before committing to a full application.
