A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 33637 reads as a medium-light golden yellow with a warm orange bias. It is clear and fairly saturated rather than muted, so the color looks more like a strong yellow-gold than a soft beige or earthy tan.

MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match this government color standard can be used on spray-painted panels, brackets, enclosures, housings, switch covers, carts, and fabricated parts that need to follow the reference color on a drawing, maintenance record, or procurement spec. It is also a practical choice for color-coding hardware, support equipment, and prototype components where a repeatable yellow-gold target is needed.

Because the color is relatively vivid, coverage may be less forgiving over dark or uneven substrates and may take additional coats to build an even film. Finish and surface texture can also shift how bright or deep it appears, and gloss levels can make the orange warmth and any surface defects stand out more. For repairs next to aged coatings, the standard reference and the existing part may not look identical if the old finish has faded or changed sheen.

For acceptance-sensitive work, a match to the government color standard is not the same as matching a weathered in-service coating, so project-specific approval or an existing-part match may still be needed. MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to the selected reference rather than an official government-issued coating system.

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 33637 *

What does AMS-STD-595 33637 define for MyPerfectColor ordering?

AMS-STD-595 33637 defines a government color reference target, not the full coating system. When you order MyPerfectColor paint matched to AMS-STD-595 33637, you are selecting a color match for that standard, but not the chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion system, or approval status for the job.

If your project calls out more than the color code, confirm the required finish, application method, and any project-specific acceptance steps before ordering.

Can AMS-STD-595 33637 be used to touch up an older painted part?

Yes, but a correct match to AMS-STD-595 33637 may still look different next to an aged coating. Weathering, fade, sheen changes, texture, and differences in the original coating can make a touch-up stand out even when the color code is right.

If the repair area is highly visible or the existing finish is old, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part may be a better choice than matching only the standard reference.

Is AMS-STD-595 33637 enough for approval on a project that requires a color match?

Not always. A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 33637 is a standard color reference, but some procurement packages, engineering authorities, or acceptance processes require more than a standard-code match.

If your project needs an approval panel, an existing-part match, or a specific coating system, follow that requirement before ordering. In those cases, the color code alone may not be enough to pass acceptance.

What product formats are available for AMS-STD-595 33637?

MyPerfectColor can provide a match to AMS-STD-595 33637 in spray paint and other formats where offered, including touch-up paint and paint pens. The standard code is the reference target for the color match, not a product line by itself.

If you need a specific format for maintenance, fabrication, or prototyping, confirm the available product type on the order page before placing the order.

How does finish affect the appearance of AMS-STD-595 33637?

Finish can change how AMS-STD-595 33637 looks after application. Gloss level, matte or satin appearance, texture, and film build can all make the same color read differently on the part.

For best results, choose the finish that matches the surrounding surface as closely as possible. If the project is acceptance-sensitive, do not rely on the color code alone without checking the required sheen and surface condition.

MyPerfectColor doesn't sell US Government paint, but it does match the US Government AMS-STD-595 33637 and all the other US Government colors in a wide variety of paint types.
