Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30145 reads as a muted, warm brown with a tan-to-ochre undertone. It is fairly subdued rather than bright, and its lower lightness gives it a grounded look that can shift slightly with sheen, texture, and film thickness.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Fed Std 595C 30145 reference is useful for touch-up and repainting on metal panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, guards, carts, vents, switch covers, and other fabricated parts. It also fits prototype hardware, training pieces, and replacement components where the government color standard is the target.

This is a low-chroma, fairly deep color, so it often covers more evenly than a very light shade. Even so, finish, substrate color, and surface texture can change how the brown reads after application, and an aged surrounding coating may not look the same as a fresh match. The code identifies the color target; it does not by itself define coating chemistry, sheen, or acceptance status.

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 30145 *

What does Fed Std 595C 30145 mean for MyPerfectColor paint, and what does it not define?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30145 is a government color reference target. If you order this color from MyPerfectColor, you are buying paint matched to that reference, not an official government-issued coating system.

The code tells you the target color, but it does not by itself choose the paint chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion system, or any formal approval status. If your project has those requirements, confirm them separately before ordering.

Will MyPerfectColor Fed Std 595C 30145 match an older painted part exactly?

Not always. A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30145 is a match to the standard reference, but an older in-service coating can look different because of fade, weathering, sheen changes, texture, or a different paint system.

If you are touching up beside existing paint, the standard match may be correct on paper but still look different on the part. For critical visible repairs, it can be better to match the existing part or repaint the full piece instead of relying on the standard code alone.

What kinds of projects commonly use Fed Std 595C 30145 custom-matched paint?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 30145 is commonly used for specification-driven work such as equipment parts, panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, fabricated components, mock-ups, and training or prototype pieces.

If a drawing, manual, bid package, or maintenance record calls out this government color reference, MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint gives you a practical liquid-paint option for that project. It is useful when the goal is to follow the specified color standard across parts or suppliers.

How should I prepare metal or an existing coating before using MyPerfectColor Fed Std 595C 30145?

Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dirt, oil, and loose material, then scuff or sand as needed so the new coating can bond properly. If rust or corrosion is present, address it before painting.

For bare metal, an appropriate primer is often important. For existing coatings, test on the actual substrate first so you can check adhesion and confirm that the final appearance works on that specific part before doing the full job.

What should I confirm before ordering custom MyPerfectColor paint for Fed Std 595C 30145?

Before you order, confirm the exact color code, the product format you need, the finish or gloss level, and the quantity. For Fed Std 595C 30145, those details matter because the color reference alone does not define the full coating requirement.

Custom color orders should be reviewed carefully before purchase. If the project is acceptance-critical or tied to a project-specific specification, verify that a standard-reference match is acceptable before placing the order, because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable.
