A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 15080 reads as a dark, cool blue-green with a muted, slightly gray-cast character. Its low light reflectance keeps it in the deeper range, and the blue side of the mix remains visible even though the green undertone pulls it away from a straight blue.

MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match this government color reference can be used for specification-driven touch-up and fabrication work on panels, brackets, enclosures, housings, cabinets, hardware, carts, grilles, and other small parts where a known Fed Std 595C or AMS-STD-595 target is required. It also fits mock-ups, training aids, and replacement pieces that need to visually align with the selected standard.

Because this is a dark color, finish, texture, and film build can change how it reads after application. Sheen differences, surface prep, and the color of the substrate may be noticeable on repairs beside existing coatings, and a standard-code match may not read the same as an aged or sun-altered part. For acceptance-sensitive work, matching the current part condition can matter as much as matching the reference code.

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 15080 *

What does Fed Std 595C 15080 mean for MyPerfectColor paint, and does the code alone define the full coating system?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 15080 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself define the product chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or any project approval requirements.

MyPerfectColor can make a paint match to the selected government color reference, but you still need to choose the right product type and coating system for the part and the job. If the specification calls for a formal approval or a specific coating system, treat the color code as only one part of the requirement.

Will MyPerfectColor match Fed Std 595C 15080 to an older painted part, or can the existing finish make the repair look different?

MyPerfectColor can match Fed Std 595C 15080, but an aged or weathered existing coating may still look different next to the repair area. Fade, sheen change, texture, contamination, and previous repaint work can all affect the visible result.

If the repair is beside an in-service finish and the appearance has to blend closely, a standard-code match may not be enough. In that case, matching the existing part or repainting the full part is often the safer decision than relying on the code alone.

How does finish affect how Fed Std 595C 15080 looks after MyPerfectColor paint is applied?

Finish can change the apparent color of Fed Std 595C 15080 even when the color match itself is correct. Gloss, satin, matte, texture, and film build all affect how the final surface reads in real use.

For that reason, order the color match and the finish you actually need for the part. If the project depends on appearance matching, do not treat the color code as the only variable.

How should I reorder MyPerfectColor paint for Fed Std 595C 15080 on a repeat job or multi-part project?

For repeat work, reorder by the exact color reference, Fed Std 595C 15080, and keep the same product type and finish whenever possible. That helps reduce variation across parts and across later purchases.

Even with the same color code, the substrate and application method can change the final look. If you need consistency across multiple parts, keep notes on the product format, prep steps, and application process used on the first job.

What surface prep should I use before applying MyPerfectColor Fed Std 595C 15080 paint to metal or an existing coating?

Start with a clean, dry, grease-free surface. On bare metal, remove loose corrosion and use the primer or coating system that fits the substrate and the service environment. On existing coatings, scuff the surface and verify adhesion before painting over it.

For mixed substrates or a part with unknown history, test on the actual surface first. That is the best way to confirm adhesion and appearance before you commit to the full Fed Std 595C 15080 application.
