A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 30098 reads as a dark, muted brown with a warm olive cast. It has low lightness, modest saturation, and a subdued earth-toned character rather than a clean red-brown or a bright tan.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint in this reference is suited to specification-driven work where the goal is a match of AMS-STD-595 30098 on finished parts and components. It can be used for enclosures, brackets, housings, panels, cabinets, racks, switch covers, tool carts, and fabricated hardware that need to track the same government color target across different substrates.
Because the color is dark and fairly muted, surface prep, sheen, and film build can still change how it reads after spraying. Dark browns can also make texture, scratches, and gloss variation more noticeable, especially on large flat parts. If you are matching an in-service coating, the existing piece may have faded or aged differently from the standard reference, so a fresh match to the code may not line up exactly with weathered surrounding paint.
This color is commonly used when a project calls for a repeatable reference rather than a visual approximation, such as maintenance touch-up, fabrication runs, mock-ups, or restoration parts. It is MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected Fed Standard or AMS-STD-595 color reference, not an official government 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 30098 *
What does AMS-STD-595 30098 define, and what does it not define for my project?
AMS-STD-595 30098 defines a government color reference target. If you order MyPerfectColor paint matched to AMS-STD-595 30098, the goal is to match that color reference.
The code does not by itself define paint chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion protection, application method, or formal approval status. If your project also specifies a coating system or acceptance process, that needs to be checked separately.
Will MyPerfectColor paint matched to AMS-STD-595 30098 match an older in-service coating?
It can match the standard reference for AMS-STD-595 30098, but an aged coating beside it may still look different. Weathering, fade, sheen change, texture, and film build can all affect how the repair reads on the part.
For a touch-up next to an existing finish, the safest choice is often to compare against the actual part or to repaint the full part instead of assuming the standard chip alone will blend perfectly.
Is AMS-STD-595 30098 a good choice for parts, panels, and prototypes?
Yes, if your drawing, manual, bid package, or maintenance requirement calls for AMS-STD-595 30098. This type of color reference is commonly used for equipment parts, panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, training aids, mock-ups, and color-coded hardware.
It is a specification-driven color choice, not a decor choice. Make sure the project actually calls for this government color standard before ordering.
How can finish change the look of AMS-STD-595 30098 after application?
Finish can change how AMS-STD-595 30098 appears even when the color match is correct. Gloss, matte, satin, texture, and film build can all make the same color look different after it is applied.
If appearance is critical, match the finish as well as the color reference, and consider a test panel before coating the final part.
Can AMS-STD-595 30098 be used for interior or exterior service, or do I need to choose a product based on the environment?
You need to choose the product based on the service environment, not just the color code. AMS-STD-595 30098 tells you the color target, but it does not determine whether the coating is right for interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, chemicals, or a specific substrate.
For ordering, confirm the coating type and durability requirements first, then select the MyPerfectColor paint matched to AMS-STD-595 30098 in the format that fits the job.
