A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 34138 reads as a muted, medium-dark olive green with a cool green bias and a yellow undertone. It has moderate chroma, so it looks earthy rather than bright, and the low LRV means it will read noticeably dark on a finished surface.
MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint is made to match the selected Fed Standard reference, which is useful when a drawing, maintenance note, or procurement spec calls out 34138. The code identifies the color target, but it does not by itself define coating chemistry, gloss, or approval status.
This color is often a practical fit for spray-painted brackets, equipment panels, housings, enclosures, support hardware, metal cabinets, rails, carts, and fabricated parts. It can also be used for color-coding maintenance fixtures, training aids, mock-up components, speaker grilles, and other small parts that need to stay aligned to a government color reference.
Because this is a darker, moderately saturated green, surface condition and sheen can affect how it reads after application. It usually covers well, but older coatings, texture, or a different substrate can make a correct match look slightly different, especially beside weathered or sun-faded parts. For acceptance-sensitive repairs, a sample panel or a match to the existing part may be worthwhile.

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 34138 *
What does Fed Std 595C 34138 mean when I order paint for my project?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 34138 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or any formal approval status. If you need a product, choose the MyPerfectColor paint format and finish that fit the project, then use the code as the color target.
Will Fed Std 595C 34138 match an older painted part exactly, or only the standard color?
Fed Std 595C 34138 matches the standard reference, not necessarily an aged in-service coating. Weathering, fading, sheen changes, texture, and prior coating differences can make the repaired area look different even when the code is correct. For touch-up beside an older finish, it is often better to compare against the existing part or use a sample panel before committing to a full repair.
What should I confirm before ordering custom-matched Fed Std 595C 34138 paint?
Confirm the exact color code, the product type, the finish, and the quantity before you place the order. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paints are made to the selected Fed Std 595C reference, and custom color orders are not returnable or refundable. If the job is acceptance-critical, verify whether the project needs a sample panel or a match to an existing part instead of the standard chip alone.
Is Fed Std 595C 34138 used for parts, panels, enclosures, or prototypes?
Yes. A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 34138 is commonly used as a specification color for equipment parts, panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, color-coded hardware, mock-ups, and prototypes. It is useful when the project calls for a repeatable government color reference rather than a visual guess. MyPerfectColor can supply a custom-matched paint to that reference in practical formats for maintenance, fabrication, and prototyping work.
Does Fed Std 595C 34138 tell me whether the paint is right for interior or exterior use?
No. Fed Std 595C 34138 only identifies the color reference. You still need to choose the product based on the service environment, such as interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, chemical exposure, substrate type, and the prep and coating system your project requires. If the part will live outdoors or in a demanding environment, select a MyPerfectColor product that is suited to that service condition, not just the color code.
