A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30059 reads as a very dark, muted warm brown with an earthy undertone. The low chroma keeps it subdued rather than vivid, and the low LRV gives it a deep, light-absorbing appearance on the finished part.
MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in this government color standard can be used for touch-up and specification-driven work on equipment panels, enclosure doors, brackets, housings, cabinets, support hardware, rail components, and fabricated parts. It is also suitable for replacement pieces, mock-ups, training aids, and color-coded accessories where the goal is to stay aligned with the selected Fed Std 595C reference.
Because this is a dark color, surface prep and coating build can affect how it reads after application. Substrate texture, primer color, and finish sheen can make small differences more noticeable, and repairs next to older coatings may not look identical if the existing paint has faded, worn, or changed gloss over time. For acceptance-sensitive work, a match to the standard chip may still need to be checked against the actual part or approval sample.
If the project is based on a digital reference, screen display can vary from the applied coating. Lighting, finish, and substrate all change the way a color like this appears, so a physical evaluation is recommended before ordering when the match needs to be judged precisely.

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 30059 *
What does Fed Std 595C 30059 mean when I order MyPerfectColor paint?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30059 is a government color reference target. It tells MyPerfectColor which color to match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss, surface prep, application method, or any formal approval status. Order it when the specification calls for the 30059 reference and you need a paint matched to that color standard.
Will Fed Std 595C 30059 match an older painted part for touch-up?
It may not match the existing finish exactly, even if the code is correct. Weathering, fading, sheen, texture, and differences in the original coating can make an aged part look different from a fresh Fed Std 595C 30059 match. For repairs next to older paint, compare against the actual part and consider whether a full-part repaint or an existing-part match is the better choice.
What product formats can I order for Fed Std 595C 30059?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30059 can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in spray paint and other formats where available, including touch-up paint and paint pens. The color code is the reference target, not a product line. Choose the format that fits the part, the repair size, and the application method you plan to use.
How should I plan dry time and recoating for Fed Std 595C 30059 paint?
Dry-to-touch, recoat timing, and full cure are different stages. The correct schedule depends on the specific MyPerfectColor product format you order for Fed Std 595C 30059, so use the product instructions for that format when planning the job. Do not assume one format will behave the same as another.
When is a Fed Std 595C 30059 color match not enough for project acceptance?
If the project requires more than a standard color reference, a Fed Std 595C 30059 match alone may not be sufficient. Acceptance-critical work can require a sample panel, a match to the existing part, or a project-specific coating system or approval process. In those cases, confirm the requirement before ordering so you do not rely on the color code alone.
