A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 30450 reads as a muted warm tan with a low-chroma, slightly peach-brown undertone. It sits in a medium-light range rather than as a pale cream or a deep brown, so it tends to look earthy and restrained rather than bright or clean.

MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint for this government color reference can be used on sprayable parts that need to follow a specified target, such as equipment panels, enclosures, brackets, cabinets, support hardware, and fabricated components. It is also useful for touch-up work on housings, fixtures, carts, covers, and mock-up parts where the goal is to match the referenced standard rather than an approximate tan.

Because this is a matched reference, the color code identifies the visual target, not the coating system, gloss level, or approval status. Finish, texture, primer color, and film build can all shift the final read. A tan this light may also show dark substrate contrast or patchy repair areas more readily if coverage is uneven, so surface prep and application consistency matter.

If you are matching an existing in-service part, keep in mind that weathering and aging can make an older coating read differently from the standard chip. In acceptance-sensitive work, a sample panel or direct comparison to the actual part is often more reliable 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 30450 *

What does AMS-STD-595 30450 mean, and does the code specify the full coating system?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 30450 is a government color reference target. It tells you the color to match, but it does not by itself define the paint chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or any formal approval status. If your project needs a specific coating system or acceptance process, that has to be specified separately from the color code.

Will AMS-STD-595 30450 match an older painted part exactly, or only the standard color reference?

It will match the AMS-STD-595 30450 reference target, but an aged in-service coating can still look different because of weathering, fade, sheen change, texture, film build, and the original coating system. For a small repair next to an existing finish, the correct code may still look off. If the area is highly visible or acceptance-critical, a sample panel or a match to the existing part is often the safer choice than matching the standard chip alone.

Is AMS-STD-595 30450 enough to choose the right paint for interior, exterior, or chemical exposure use?

No. AMS-STD-595 30450 only identifies the color target. You still need to choose the product chemistry and coating system based on the service environment, such as interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, chemical contact, or the substrate being coated. MyPerfectColor can match the color, but the project requirements determine which product type is appropriate.

Can I order AMS-STD-595 30450 as a spray paint, touch-up paint, or paint pen?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom-matched paint for AMS-STD-595 30450 in spray paint and other formats where offered, including touch-up paint, paint pens, and brush-in-cap bottles. The color code is the reference target, while the format you choose should match how you plan to apply the paint and what kind of repair or project you are doing.

How should I plan dry time and recoating for AMS-STD-595 30450?

Dry time, recoat timing, and full cure are set by the specific product format, not by the AMS-STD-595 30450 color code. A spray paint, touch-up paint, epoxy, or urethane match can all have different handling and recoat windows. Use the instructions for the product you order, and do not assume the color reference tells you when the coating is ready for handling or the next coat.
