A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 10045 reads as a deep, muted brown-gray with a warm undertone. The color is low-chroma and fairly dark, so it appears subdued rather than vivid, with the exact balance between brown and gray shifting a bit with sheen, substrate, and film thickness.
This is a Fed Std 595C government color reference target. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is matched to the selected color reference, but the code itself does not define product chemistry, coating system, sheen, or approval status.
MyPerfectColor spray paint in this color is suited to specification-driven parts such as equipment panels, housings, brackets, enclosures, cabinets, support hardware, vent covers, switch plates, racks, and fabricated components. It can also be used for touch-up work on existing assemblies, color coding of tools or fixtures, prototype parts, and restoration projects where a Fed Std 595C 10045 match is called out in the drawing or maintenance reference.
Because the color is dark and muted, surface condition can be noticeable after application. Gloss differences, sanding marks, scratches, and uneven film build may show more readily than they would in a lighter color. On touch-up work next to an older coating, the standard code may still be correct while fading, wear, or sheen change in the surrounding finish creates a visible difference. Finish, primer, and substrate color can also shift the final appearance of the match.

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™ Fed Std 595C 10045 *
What does Fed Std 595C 10045 mean, and what does it not define for my project?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 10045 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or formal approval status. If your project has a written specification, use that to choose the product type and finish in addition to the color reference.
Can I use Fed Std 595C 10045 for touch-up next to an older coating on the same part?
Yes, but the standard color reference does not guarantee a perfect visual match to an aged in-service coating. Weathering, fade, sheen changes, texture, and prior coating differences can make the repaired area read differently even when the code is correct. For acceptance-critical work, a sample panel or a match to the existing part may be a better choice than relying on the standard reference alone.
How do I choose the right product for a project specified as Fed Std 595C 10045?
Choose the product based on the service environment and substrate, not on the color code alone. Fed Std 595C 10045 tells you the color target, but you still need to decide whether the job calls for spray paint, touch-up paint, or another format, and whether the part needs a coating type suited to interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, or chemical contact. MyPerfectColor offers custom-matched paint made to match the selected US Government Fed Std 595C 10045 reference in several formats for specification-driven work.
Will Fed Std 595C 10045 look the same in gloss, satin, or matte finish?
No. The finish can change how Fed Std 595C 10045 appears after application. Gloss level, surface texture, and film build can all shift the visual result even when the color match is correct. If the project has a required finish, order the color and finish together so the result aligns with the specification or the adjacent surface.
How should I reorder Fed Std 595C 10045 to keep multiple parts consistent?
Reorder by the exact color code, the same product type, and the same finish. That gives you the best chance of consistency across repeat jobs or multiple parts. Even then, substrate, preparation, and application method can still affect the final appearance, so keep records of the original order if the match matters on future touch-ups or production runs.
