A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 30097 is a dark, muted brown with a warm yellow-brown undertone. It reads as a low-chroma, earthy shade rather than a clean chocolate or red-brown, with a fairly deep appearance and limited brightness.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference can be used on equipment panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, carts, railings, switch covers, and fabricated hardware. It also fits touch-up work on legacy parts, prototype assemblies, training aids, and other color-coded components where a repeatable reference is needed. MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to the selected AMS-STD-595 reference, not an official government coating system.
Because this is a dark, muted color, substrate color, surface texture, film build, and sheen can change how it reads after application. Coverage may show more readily over a high-contrast base, and repairs beside older or weathered coating can expose gloss or wear differences even when the code match is correct. For acceptance-sensitive work, a sample panel or project-specific review is often worth using.

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 30097 *
What does AMS-STD-595 30097 mean when I order paint, and what does it not define?
A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 30097 is the government color reference target. When you order this page, you are ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected government color standard, not an official government-issued coating system.
The code helps identify the color, but it does not by itself define the chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion protection, application method, or formal approval status for your project. If the job has a specified coating system, those details need to be checked separately.
Will AMS-STD-595 30097 match an older painted part, or only the standard color reference?
AMS-STD-595 30097 matches the standard reference, but an older in-service coating can look different because of weathering, fade, sheen change, texture, and prior coating differences. A correct color code does not always produce a visual match next to an aged part.
If you are repairing beside an existing finish, compare against the actual part condition when possible. For acceptance-critical work, a sample panel or a match to the existing surface may be a better path than relying on the standard reference alone.
Can I return a custom color order for AMS-STD-595 30097 if the color is not right?
Please confirm the exact color code, product type, finish, and quantity before ordering AMS-STD-595 30097. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to review the order carefully before it is made.
If you are unsure about the finish or format, verify those details first so the paint you receive is appropriate for the project and the return policy does not become an issue.
How does finish affect the appearance of AMS-STD-595 30097 after application?
The code AMS-STD-595 30097 defines the color reference, but the final appearance also depends on gloss level, matte or satin finish, texture, and film build. Those factors can make the same matched color look different after it is applied.
If your project needs a specific visual result, choose the finish carefully and do not assume the color code alone will control the final look. The applied coating and the surface underneath both affect what you see.
What product formats are available for AMS-STD-595 30097 from MyPerfectColor?
A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 30097 can be ordered in MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in available formats such as spray paint, touch-up paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and other product types where offered. The color code is the reference target, not a product line by itself.
If you need a specific application method, confirm the format before ordering so the product you choose fits the repair, maintenance, fabrication, or prototyping task.
