FED-STD-595

The closest I can get with RGB Hex...
Yeah I pretty much stole this table from someone else's website and cleaned it up for CSS. Since I use this all the time for websites, graphics and models, I figured I would put it up here. Enjoy!
The Federal Standard color system, officially named Federal Standard 595B - Colors Used in Government Procurement, is a United States Federal Standard, issued by the General Services Administration. The standard is also widely referred to as FED-STD-595, FED-STD-595B or FS-595B.
FED-STD-595 was finalized in the mid 50's, but it had evolved from WWII. Since military equipment was painted in specific colors that the military research nerds had figured out to be best, you had to have the colors the same across all the services. A Jeep built by Ford would be painted Olive Drab, but a Half-track built by the White Motor Company would too. The army needed them to be the same color right off the production line. So how do you get some company making hand grenade cases to use the same color as the company on the other side of the country making eyelets for boots? You come up with a national standard and fine the crap out of the guy who doesn't follow it. (In my experience with WWII vehicles, Ford wasn't going to stop the production line because the paint was a little too green. So it didn't matter that much.)
Each color in the Federal Standard 595 range is identified by a five-digit code, the FS#. None of the colors in the standard have an official name, just numbers. Over time though, the colors have been given names to make it simple for us poor non-savants to get the right color. Some of the model paint companies do display a FS#, but try asking your local game store owner for FS 23722 and watch his eyes slowly glaze over. Ask him for Testors Sand and he'll know where on the rack it is.
