A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 21575 reads as a light, warm beige-tan with a peachy-brown undertone. It is muted rather than vivid, with a mid-light value that can appear a little deeper or rosier depending on finish, texture, and film build.

MyPerfectColor custom-matched spray paint in this color can be used on specification-driven parts such as equipment panels, housings, enclosures, brackets, switch covers, cabinets, support hardware, carts, and fabricated components that need a consistent government-standard reference. It is also useful for touch-up on smaller surfaces where a measured color match matters more than an approximate tan or brown.

Because this is a relatively light color, dark or uneven substrates can show through more easily if coverage is thin, especially on edges, welds, textured metal, or repaired areas. Sheen and surface texture can also shift how warm or peachy the color reads, so even application and proper film build help keep the match consistent.

This is a match to the Fed Std 595C 21575 color reference, not an official government-issued coating system. If you are matching an older in-service part, the surrounding coating may have faded, yellowed, or changed sheen, so the standard chip and the existing surface may not look identical even when 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™ Fed Std 595C 21575 *

What does Fed Std 595C 21575 mean when I order paint, and does it define the full coating system?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 21575 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself define the paint chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion system, or project approval status.

When you order from MyPerfectColor, you are ordering custom-matched paint made to match the selected Fed Std 595C 21575 color reference, not an official government-issued coating system.

Will Fed Std 595C 21575 match an older painted part exactly for touch-up work?

Not always. A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 21575 is the standard reference color, but an older in-service coating can look different because of fade, weathering, sheen change, texture, contamination, or a previous coating system.

If the repair is next to an aged finish, a standard-code match may be close enough for some jobs, but a full-part repaint or an existing-part match can be the better choice when appearance is critical.

If my project calls for Fed Std 595C 21575, when is a standard match not enough for acceptance?

A match to Fed Std 595C 21575 is not always enough when the procurement package, engineering authority, or inspection process requires a sample panel, existing-part match, or project-specific approval.

For acceptance-critical work, confirm whether the requirement is only the color code or whether the coating system, finish, substrate, and approval process must also be documented and approved.

If the project is controlled by a technical order, drawing, or contract package, the safest path is to verify the acceptance method before ordering.

How do I get consistent results when reordering Fed Std 595C 21575 for multiple parts or a repeat job?

Reorder by the exact color code, product type, and finish so the same Fed Std 595C 21575 reference is used again. That helps reduce variation between orders.

Even with the same code, substrate, surface prep, film build, and application method can change the final appearance. If you need multiple parts to read the same, keep those variables as consistent as possible and use the same product format for the whole job.

What MyPerfectColor product formats are available for Fed Std 595C 21575?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 21575 can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in available formats such as spray paint, touch-up paint, paint pens, and other product options where offered.

The color code is the reference target, while the product format is chosen based on how you plan to apply it. For small repairs, a touch-up format may be practical. For broader coverage, spray paint may be the better choice.
