A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 14090 is a deep green with a cool, blue-green undertone and low light reflectance. It reads darker than a medium green and can appear almost black-green in dim conditions, while still showing a clear green cast when light hits it.
MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint for this government color standard is suited to spray painting equipment panels, enclosures, brackets, cabinets, switch covers, support hardware, and similar fabricated parts. It is also a practical choice for maintenance touch-up, color-coded components, mock-ups, and prototype pieces where the goal is to follow the specified Fed Std 595C reference rather than an approximate green.
Because this is a dark color, finish and surface condition can be noticeable after application. Gloss level, texture, film build, and substrate color can all change how the shade reads, and the code itself defines the color target rather than the coating chemistry or approval status. On older or sun-faded parts, a correct standard match may still look different from the surrounding coating.
For acceptance-sensitive or repair work beside an existing finish, compare against the actual part or an approved sample panel when the project requires that level of control. That helps account for aging, sheen shift, and any previous coating differences that the standard reference alone cannot capture.

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 14090 *
What does Fed Std 595C 14090 mean, and does it define the whole coating system?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 14090 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself choose the coating chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or approval status for the job.
MyPerfectColor can supply custom-matched paint to the selected government color reference, but you still need to choose the product type and coating system that fit the project requirements.
Will MyPerfectColor match Fed Std 595C 14090 for touch-up on an aged surface?
MyPerfectColor can make a match of US Government Fed Std 595C 14090, but a correct standard match may still look different next to an older coating. Weathering, fade, sheen, texture, and film build can all change how the repaired area reads.
If the part is already in service and the surrounding finish is aged or uneven, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part may be a better choice than matching the standard chip alone.
How do I choose the right product format for Fed Std 595C 14090 in my environment?
Start with the service environment, not just the color code. Fed Std 595C 14090 only identifies the color target. It does not tell you whether you need spray paint, touch-up paint, epoxy, urethane, or another coating type.
Choose the product based on whether the part is indoors or outdoors, how much abrasion it will see, whether chemicals are involved, and what substrate you are coating. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint is available in spray paint and other formats for specification-driven color work.
Can I return a custom-matched order for US Government Fed Std 595C 14090 if the project changes?
Plan carefully before ordering a custom match for US Government Fed Std 595C 14090. Custom-made color matches should be confirmed for the exact color code, product type, finish, and quantity before purchase because these orders are not returnable or refundable.
If the project may change, verify the specification and the required format first so you do not end up with a usable match in the wrong product or finish.
How should I plan dry time and recoat timing for Fed Std 595C 14090?
Dry-to-touch, recoat timing, and full cure are different milestones. For Fed Std 595C 14090, the actual timing depends on the product format you order, so use the product instructions and label data for the schedule.
Do not plan the job from the color code alone. Confirm the dry time, recoat window, and handling time for the specific MyPerfectColor product before starting the project.
