A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30108 reads as a deep, muted brown with a warm red-yellow undertone. It is low in lightness and has a subdued, earthy character rather than a clean or vivid appearance.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color standard can be used for touch-up and repaint work on brackets, panels, housings, enclosures, hardware, tool parts, support fixtures, and fabricated components that need to stay aligned with the reference. It also fits smaller spray-painted items such as switch covers, vents, cabinets, rails, mounts, and equipment accessories where a controlled brown finish is needed.
Because the color is dark and moderately muted, finish and substrate can change how it reads after application. Gloss level, film build, and surface texture may make the brown look deeper, flatter, or slightly warmer, and touch-up beside an aged or weathered coating can still show a difference even when the code is correct. On lighter or uneven substrates, careful prep and consistent coverage help keep the result even.

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 30108 *
Does Fed Std 595C 30108 by itself specify the full coating system for US Government paint orders?
No. Fed Std 595C 30108 identifies the color reference target only. It does not by itself choose the paint chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion protection, application method, or any project approval requirements. If your job calls for a specific coating system, use the project specification in addition to the color code when ordering.
Will MyPerfectColor Fed Std 595C 30108 match an older coated part exactly for touch-up work?
Not always. A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30108 is a standard color target, but an existing part may have faded, weathered, changed sheen, or developed a different texture over time. Even when the code is correct, a touch-up repair next to an aged finish can still stand out. For visible repairs, a sample panel or an existing-part match may be the better choice than matching the standard alone.
Is Fed Std 595C 30108 enough to choose the right MyPerfectColor paint for interior or exterior service?
No. Fed Std 595C 30108 tells you the color target, but it does not tell you whether the project needs an interior-only product, exterior durability, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, or compatibility with a specific substrate. Choose the MyPerfectColor product format and coating type based on the service environment and the surface you are coating, then use the color code for the match target.
What product formats can I order for US Government Fed Std 595C 30108?
MyPerfectColor can supply Fed Std 595C 30108 as a custom color match in spray paint and other formats where available, including touch-up options. The color code is the reference target, and the format should be chosen based on how you plan to apply the paint, the size of the repair, and the substrate.
How should I prep metal or an existing coating before applying Fed Std 595C 30108?
Clean and degrease the surface first, then scuff-sand or abrade as needed so the new coating can bond properly. If there is rust, corrosion, loose paint, or an unknown existing coating, address those issues before painting. Primer choice should be based on the metal or substrate and the condition of the surface, not on the color code alone. For a large job, test Fed Std 595C 30108 on the actual part before full application.
