A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 34158 reads as a muted blue-green gray with a cool cast and very low saturation. It sits in a medium-dark range, so it looks more subdued than bright, and the slight green-cyan undertone can shift depending on sheen and substrate.
MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint to this government color reference is useful for spray work on equipment housings, metal panels, brackets, vents, switch covers, rail hardware, enclosures, carts, and fabricated parts. It is a practical choice when a drawing, maintenance document, or procurement package calls for a Fed Std 595C or AMS-STD-595 code and you need a repeatable visual target across different materials.
Because the color is low-chroma and fairly deep, surface condition can influence how it reads after application. Gloss, texture, and film build can make it appear a little darker or a little more blue or green, while touch-up beside older coatings may still show differences in age or sheen even when the code is correct.
For acceptance-sensitive work, compare the standard reference to the existing part carefully, especially if the coating has weathered, faded, or been repainted before. The code identifies the color target, but it does not by itself define the coating system, finish, or approval requirements for a specific project.

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 34158 *
For Fed Std 595C 34158, what does the code define and what does it not define?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 34158 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself define the paint chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion protection, application method, or any formal approval status.
If you need MyPerfectColor paint matched to Fed Std 595C 34158, choose the product type and coating system based on the project requirements, not the color code alone.
Will MyPerfectColor matched to Fed Std 595C 34158 look the same as an older in-service Fed Std 595C 34158 coating?
Not always. A correct match to Fed Std 595C 34158 can still look different next to an older coating because the existing finish may have faded, weathered, changed sheen, or picked up texture differences over time.
If the repaired area must blend into an aged part, it may be better to match the existing surface or evaluate a full-part repaint instead of relying on the standard code alone.
How should I prep metal or an existing coating before applying MyPerfectColor matched to Fed Std 595C 34158?
Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove oil, grease, dust, loose coating, and any visible corrosion before painting.
For metal, scuffing and the right primer can improve adhesion, but the best prep depends on the substrate and the condition of the existing coating. If you are painting over an unknown or aged finish, test on the actual part before coating the full surface with a match to Fed Std 595C 34158.
How do I choose the right MyPerfectColor product for Fed Std 595C 34158 in an interior, exterior, or high-wear environment?
The color code Fed Std 595C 34158 does not determine whether you need spray paint, touch-up paint, direct-to-metal paint, epoxy, urethane, or another coating type. Choose the product based on the service environment, substrate, and durability needs.
For example, exposure to abrasion, chemicals, or outdoor weathering may require a different coating choice than a simple interior touch-up, even though the color target is still Fed Std 595C 34158.
What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of Fed Std 595C 34158?
Confirm the exact color code, the product type, the finish, and the quantity before you place the order. For custom-made color matches, those details matter because the wrong choice can make the paint unusable for the job.
MyPerfectColor custom matches made to Fed Std 595C 34158 are not returnable or refundable, so it is best to verify the specification first if your project has any uncertainty.
