A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 36415 reads as a muted warm beige-tan with a slight yellow and khaki cast. It sits in the lighter range, but the low chroma keeps it subdued rather than bright or clean, so it has an earthy, restrained appearance.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference can be used on panels, enclosures, housings, brackets, control boxes, carts, hardware, and fabricated support parts. It is also useful for touch-up on switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, rail components, and training or mock-up pieces where the same standard needs to carry across metal, plastic, or composite surfaces.

Because this is a relatively light color, the underlying substrate can influence how evenly it covers. Darker or uneven bases may show through more readily, and sheen differences can make the finished color read slightly warmer or cooler after application. On repaired parts, a standard-reference match may still look different from an older or weathered coating nearby.

This is MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected Fed Standard or AMS-STD-595 color reference, not an official government coating system. For new parts and procurement-driven work, the code provides a practical target; for acceptance-critical repairs or matches to an existing in-service finish, a sample panel or comparison to the actual part may be more appropriate.

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 36415 *

What does AMS-STD-595 36415 tell me when ordering paint for a project?

AMS-STD-595 36415 identifies the government color reference target, not the full coating system. Use it to order MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint to match the selected Fed Standard or AMS-STD-595 color reference, but choose chemistry, gloss, preparation, and any approval path separately for the job. The code alone does not tell you whether the coating is right for your substrate or service requirement.

If I am touching up an older coating, will AMS-STD-595 36415 match the existing part exactly?

Not always. AMS-STD-595 36415 gives you the target color reference, but an in-service coating can look different because of fade, weathering, sheen changes, texture, and prior repaint work. If the repair is next to an aged finish, a standard reference match may still read differently on the part. In those cases, matching the existing surface or repainting the full part can be the safer choice.

How should I choose a product for AMS-STD-595 36415 based on interior, exterior, or hard-use exposure?

Start with the service environment, not just the color code. AMS-STD-595 36415 only defines the color target, so you still need to decide whether the part needs interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, or compatibility with the substrate. MyPerfectColor can supply paint matched to AMS-STD-595 36415, but the right product format and coating type depend on how the part will be used.

What kinds of parts are commonly finished with AMS-STD-595 36415?
