A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30045 is a dark, muted brown-red with a warm, earthy cast and only a modest amount of chroma. It reads as a subdued deep brown rather than a clean red, with enough warmth to keep it from looking flat or neutral.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Fed Standard reference can be used on fabricated panels, equipment housings, brackets, enclosures, mounting hardware, carts, cabinets, and other small parts where a government-standard color is needed for maintenance, fabrication, or prototyping. It is also a practical option for touch-up on accessory parts such as switch covers, grille panels, supports, and similar components that need to stay aligned to the specified reference.
Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, surface prep and sheen have a noticeable effect on the finished result. Gloss or semi-gloss coatings can make texture, repair edges, and film-build differences easier to see, while rough or porous substrates may make the color read slightly duller. Dark matches can also show adjacent aging or fade differences more clearly than the code alone suggests.
Fed Std 595C 30045 identifies the color reference, not the coating chemistry, gloss level, or approval status. If you are matching an existing in-service part, weathering, substrate, and finish can shift the appearance away from the standard chip even when the color code itself is correct.

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.
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30045 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself specify the coating chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or any formal approval status.
If your project requires a specific product type or an approved coating system, you need to choose that separately from the color reference. MyPerfectColor can supply paint matched to Fed Std 595C 30045, but the code alone does not make the coating system complete.
A match to Fed Std 595C 30045 is the right starting point, but it may not look identical to an older in-service coating. Weathering, fading, sheen change, texture, and the original coating system can all make the repaired area look different even when the color code is correct.
For the best result, compare the new paint against the existing part under the same lighting and on the same substrate if possible. If the repair is highly visible or acceptance-critical, a full-part repaint or an existing-part match may be a better choice than matching only the standard reference.
The color code by itself does not control the final visual result. A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30045 can read differently depending on gloss, satin, matte, texture, and film build after application.
If your project needs a specific look, choose the finish intentionally rather than relying on the color code alone. For specification-driven work, verify both the color reference and the desired finish before ordering.
Before ordering a custom match for Fed Std 595C 30045, confirm the exact color code, the product format you need, the finish, and the quantity. This helps avoid ordering the wrong item for a project that depends on a specific government color reference.
Custom-matched paint orders should be reviewed carefully before purchase. Once a made-to-order color is produced, it should not be treated like a standard off-the-shelf item.
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30045 is commonly used for specification-driven work such as equipment parts, panels, enclosures, brackets, housings, color-coded hardware, prototypes, and mock-ups. It is a practical reference when a project calls for a known government color rather than a decorative color choice.
Choose the product format based on the part and the repair method. MyPerfectColor offers matched paint in spray paint, touch-up paint, and other formats for government-standard color matching, so select the option that fits the substrate, size of the area, and application method you plan to use.
