A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 37875 reads as a very light off-white with a soft warm cast. It sits close to white, but the low chroma and slight yellow-green bias keep it from looking clean or stark. The color has a quiet, muted character rather than a bright white appearance.

MyPerfectColor custom-matched spray paint in this government color reference is useful for touch-up and repaint work on panels, enclosures, brackets, housings, cabinets, switch covers, vent grilles, hardware, and fabricated parts that need to follow a specified standard. It can also be used for mock-ups, training pieces, and color-coded components where a repeatable reference matters across different substrates or suppliers.

Because this is a very light color, substrate color and surface preparation can influence the final result. Darker primer, repaired areas, texture, or uneven film build may show through more readily, and sheen differences can make the same color read warmer or cooler after application. When matching an aged or weathered coating, the standard reference may not look the same as the existing part, even if the code is correct.

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 37875 *

What does AMS-STD-595 37875 mean, and what does it not tell me when ordering paint from MyPerfectColor?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 37875 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color you want to match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss, primer, surface prep, corrosion system, or any formal approval status.

When you order from MyPerfectColor, you are ordering paint matched to the selected AMS-STD-595 37875 reference, not an official government-issued coating system. If your project has acceptance or compliance requirements, confirm the full coating specification separately.

Will MyPerfectColor match AMS-STD-595 37875 exactly on an older coated part, or can the existing finish still look different?

MyPerfectColor can make a match to AMS-STD-595 37875, but an older in-service coating may still look different because of weathering, fade, sheen changes, texture, and the original coating system.

If you are touching up next to aged paint, the standard reference may not be the best visual target. In that case, a match to the existing part or a larger repaint of the full part may be a better choice than a small spot repair.

What product formats can I order for AMS-STD-595 37875 from MyPerfectColor?

For AMS-STD-595 37875, MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint is available in spray paint, touch-up paint, and other formats where available for specification-driven color work.

If your project is a small repair, choose a touch-up format. If you need broader coverage on parts, panels, or fabricated components, spray paint is often the more practical option. The color code is the reference target, not a product line, so choose the format based on how the part will be applied.

How should I prepare a metal part before applying MyPerfectColor matched to AMS-STD-595 37875?

For metal parts, start by cleaning and degreasing the surface so the coating can bond properly. If there is an existing coating, scuff it before application and check for corrosion, loose paint, or other surface problems that could affect adhesion.

Primer choice depends on the substrate and condition of the part, so do not assume the color code alone answers that part of the process. Before coating a large area, test on the actual substrate to confirm adhesion and appearance.

What kinds of projects commonly use AMS-STD-595 37875 matched paint from MyPerfectColor?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 37875 is commonly used for specification-driven projects such as equipment parts, panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, carts, fixtures, prototypes, mock-ups, and color-coded hardware.

MyPerfectColor matched paint is useful when a drawing, maintenance document, procurement package, or fabrication requirement calls for a specific government color standard. It is meant for practical matching to the reference color, not for decorative color selection.

Does US Government paint color US Government AMS-STD-595 37875 need primer?

MyPerfectColor doesn't sell US Government paint, but it does match the US Government AMS-STD-595 37875 and all the other US Government colors in a wide variety of paint types.
