A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 20220 reads as a warm, saturated red-orange with a clear, direct cast. As a government standard reference, it describes the color target itself, not an aged coating or a specific finish system.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to AMS-STD-595 20220 is suited to panels, switch covers, brackets, enclosures, guards, carts, fabricated supports, identification plates, and other small hardware where a defined reference matters. It also works for touch-up on accessories, prototype parts, and training pieces that need consistent appearance across different substrates.
With a vivid warm color like this, hide can depend on what is underneath. Dark or uneven bases may show through more readily, and gloss or semi-gloss finishes can make texture, sanding marks, and film-build differences more noticeable. If the work is acceptance-sensitive, a sample panel or a match to the existing part can help confirm the applied result.
This is a custom match from MyPerfectColor, not an official government-issued coating system. If you are repairing beside weathered or sun-changed paint, the standard code alone may not reproduce the look of the existing surface, especially if sheen or age has shifted over time.

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 20220 *
What does AMS-STD-595 20220 mean when I order MyPerfectColor paint?
A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 20220 is a government color reference target. It tells MyPerfectColor which color to match, but it does not by itself choose the paint chemistry, gloss, surface prep, corrosion system, or any formal approval status. If your project specification names only the color code, order the MyPerfectColor paint matched to AMS-STD-595 20220 and then confirm the rest of the coating requirements from the drawing, manual, or procurement package.
Will MyPerfectColor match AMS-STD-595 20220 exactly on a weathered or older part?
It can match the AMS-STD-595 20220 reference, but that is not always the same as matching an aged in-service coating. Weathering, fade, sheen, texture, and prior coating differences can make a correct code look different next to the existing part. If the repair is highly visible or acceptance critical, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part may be the safer choice than matching the code alone.
What documentation applies to AMS-STD-595 20220 when I buy MyPerfectColor paint?
The SDS and product data apply to the specific MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you order, not to the color code itself. A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 20220 is the color reference, while the product documentation belongs to the paint format and formula you select. If your job needs a specific submittal set, verify those documents against the exact product being purchased.
How should I plan dry time and recoat timing for AMS-STD-595 20220 paint?
Use the drying and recoat instructions for the exact MyPerfectColor product you order. Dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages, and the right timing depends on the product format, film build, substrate, and application conditions. For project planning, follow the product data for the selected paint rather than assuming the color code sets the schedule.
How do I reorder MyPerfectColor for AMS-STD-595 20220 and keep repeat parts consistent?
Reorder by the exact code, AMS-STD-595 20220, and keep the same product type and finish on every piece in the set. That gives you the best chance of repeatability across parts. Even with the same color match, substrate, primer, application method, and film build can change the final appearance, so keep those variables as consistent as possible from order to order.
When will I receive my paint matching US Government AMS-STD-595 20220? Can I get it right away?

Does US Government paint color US Government AMS-STD-595 20220 need primer?
MyPerfectColor doesn't sell US Government paint, but it does match the US Government AMS-STD-595 20220 and all the other US Government colors in a wide variety of paint types. The need for primer depends on the specific paint and the substrate being painted. The top quality paints these days tend to be self-priming over most surfaces, while paint at the mid to lower grade quality levels will need a separate primer. Most special situations such as bleeding type woods or difficult to adhere surfaces like plastic will often need a specialty primer.
