Rationale
The purpose of this amendment is to make corrections to AMS-STD-595A and to add new colors to the defined color index system. Specifically, paragraph e. was changed to paragraph d. to correct paragraph notation, a misspelling of one of the RCAF references was corrected, and all references for “Marine Corp” were changed to “Marine Corps.” Also, several new colors are being added at the request of specific using authorities per the new paragraph e. These colors and their associated CIE L*a*b* digital coordinate data will be added to the Master Color List in Appendix A at the next full revision of AMS-STD-595.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
