MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint is a match of Fed Std 595C 30099. It is a very dark, low-chroma brown with a warm olive cast. With an LRV of 10.22, it reads deep and subdued rather than vivid, and the color stays closer to an earthy brown than to a red or orange brown.
For specification-driven work, this color can be used on brackets, housings, enclosures, panels, vent covers, switch plates, rail supports, and other fabricated parts that need a consistent government-standard reference. It also suits touch-up on carts, fixtures, hardware, prototype components, and restoration pieces where a matched spray finish is easier to apply than a liquid brush coat on small or irregular surfaces.
Because the color is dark and muted, surface prep, film build, and sheen will noticeably affect the final read. Smooth glossy parts can show texture differences, edge wear, and repair boundaries, while rough or porous substrates may make the brown appear a little lighter or less uniform than the target chip.
If you are matching an existing in-service part, keep in mind that the standard reference is not the same as a weathered or sun-faded coating. A close code match can still look different beside an aged finish, especially when the original surface has changed gloss, collected contamination, or worn through on edges.

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 30099 *
What does Fed Std 595C 30099 tell me, and what does it not tell me, when ordering paint for Fed Std 595C 30099?
Fed Std 595C 30099 identifies the color reference target only. It tells you which government color standard you need to match, but it does not by itself define the paint chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, coating system, or any formal approval status.
If your project needs a specific finish or a project-controlled coating system, confirm those requirements separately before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to Fed Std 595C 30099.
Will MyPerfectColor paint matched to Fed Std 595C 30099 match an older in-service coating exactly?
Not always. A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30099 is a standard reference color, but an existing coating may have faded, weathered, changed sheen, or built texture over time. Even when the code is correct, a touch-up beside the older finish can still look different.
For a visible repair on an aged part, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part may be a better choice than matching the standard chip alone.
What product formats can I order for Fed Std 595C 30099?
MyPerfectColor can supply paint matched to Fed Std 595C 30099 in practical formats for specification-driven work, including spray paint and other touch-up options where available.
If you need a particular application method for a bracket, panel, enclosure, or fabricated part, choose the format that fits the job before you place the order. The color code is the reference target, not the product line.
Are custom orders for Fed Std 595C 30099 returnable if the color is not what I expected?
Custom-made color matches for Fed Std 595C 30099 should be reviewed carefully before purchase. Once a custom color is made, it is generally not returnable or refundable.
Before ordering, confirm the exact color code, product type, finish, and quantity you need so you do not end up with the wrong match for the project.
How should I prepare metal or existing coatings before applying paint matched to Fed Std 595C 30099?
For metal and previously coated surfaces, clean off dirt, oil, and other contamination before painting. If the surface is glossy or smooth, scuffing can help the new coating bond. For bare metal or corrosion-prone parts, use the primer system that fits the substrate and environment.
If the part has an existing coating, test on the actual surface first and confirm that the new paint is compatible before coating a large area. Surface condition can change how Fed Std 595C 30099 appears after application.
