Fed Std 595 Paint Spec

A PDF of the textual part of the Federal Standard 595B can be downloaded here.

The colors in the Federal Standard set have no official names, just five-digit numbers. Any names given below are generic.

The first figure can be 1,2 or 3 and indicates the level of sheen:

• 1 = gloss
• 2 = semi gloss
• 3 = matt

The second figure of the code indicates a general color classification group;

The remaining figures (third to fifth) combined into a number indicate the intensity. Lower value indicates a darker color, higher value - a lighter color, with no other significance. The numbers have been assigned with gaps to allow addition of new colors. Fed-Std-595 is a color collection, not a complete color system, and this has the following implications:

• The existence of a color chip 1xxxx in the FS Fan Deck doesn't imply that there is a color chip for 3xxxx. However, references to such "virtual" chips built on the principle "same color, but different sheen" is a widespread practice.
• The FS in not extensible, i.e. it does not allow to derive new colors form the existing ones. Thus, if you compare i.e. RLM colors to FS codes, you can only refer to the nearest existing FS color, which most often isn't a perfect match. In practice, the FS set is extensive enough to find a good-enough match for almost any color.

The following chart provides rough approximations of a few FS-595B colors. Note, the colors on computer screens can vary substantially based on your monitor and your computer. For more accurate representations of all 611 Fed-Std-595 colors, please use a Fan Deck, and for a definitive reference, use the 3x5 color chips. The RGB Hex Code is a reference to what is shown on your monitor and is only a rough approximation of the true color.
