FS Numbers (eg: FS 34152) are the universal colouring system used by modellers when painting aircraft and are often referred to by other paint manufacturers to best describe the colour they are reproducing in their range.
FS 595a is the current variation of the system, and FS stands for "Federal Standards".
One of the most common questions about the numbering system is exactly what the digits stand for? Is the FS colour matt or gloss? What do the numbers really mean and why are there gaps? The following provides you with a brief overview of how the numbers are coded. The purpose is to help you at least break down the grouped colour and its overall finish.
