A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 30266 is a warm tan-brown with a clear ochre bias and moderate chroma. It reads medium-deep rather than pale, with an earthy, slightly muted character that can shift toward mustard-brown under stronger light.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference can be used on equipment panels, brackets, housings, cabinet faces, shelves, pipe guards, handles, frames, and fabricated parts when a warm brown-ochre standard is called out. It is also a practical choice for mock-ups, training aids, and restoration pieces that need to visually track the same reference across metal, plastic, or composite surfaces.

With an LRV of 24.78, this color sits on the deeper side of the range, so it usually covers more confidently than very light colors, but finish and substrate still matter. Gloss or semi-gloss can make the warm undertone read richer and more saturated, while flatter finishes will soften it. If you are matching an older in-service part, the standard reference may differ from weathered or faded paint, so the surrounding condition can affect the final read.

This is a match to the selected Fed Standard or AMS-STD-595 color reference, not an official government-issued coating system. For acceptance-critical or adjacent-surface repairs, an existing-part match or sample panel may be worth considering before ordering.

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 30266 *

What does AMS-STD-595 30266 define when I order MyPerfectColor paint?

AMS-STD-595 30266 defines a government color reference target. When you order MyPerfectColor paint matched to this color, you are selecting the color standard only. The code does not define the coating chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or any formal approval status. If your project has acceptance or compliance requirements, confirm the full coating specification before ordering.

Can AMS-STD-595 30266 be used to touch up an older coated part?

Yes, but a standard match is not always the same as matching an aged in-service finish. Weathering, fade, sheen, texture, and film build can make the surrounding coating look different from a fresh repair, even when the color code is correct. For a visible touch-up beside an older finish, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part may be a better choice than matching AMS-STD-595 30266 alone.

How should I plan dry time and recoat timing for AMS-STD-595 30266?

Dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages. The correct timing for AMS-STD-595 30266 depends on the product format you choose, such as custom spray paint or another coating type, along with temperature, humidity, film build, and substrate. Use the product instructions for the exact recoat window and handling guidance, and do not assume the coating is ready for use just because it feels dry.

What kinds of projects commonly use AMS-STD-595 30266?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 30266 is commonly used for specification-driven work such as equipment parts, panels, brackets, enclosures, housings, fixtures, training aids, mock-ups, and color-coded hardware. It is a practical choice when a drawing, maintenance manual, bid package, or other project document calls for a government color standard and you need a repeatable visual reference.

How do I choose the right coating for AMS-STD-595 30266 in different environments?

The color code does not tell you whether a coating will perform well in interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, chemical exposure, or on a specific substrate. Choose the coating system for the service environment first, then match AMS-STD-595 30266 in the format that fits the job. MyPerfectColor can supply a match to AMS-STD-595 30266 in custom spray paint and other formats for specification-driven projects, but the coating still needs to fit the prep and durability requirements of the application.
