A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 34424 reads as a muted gray-green with a soft olive or khaki cast. It sits in a medium-light range rather than a deep tone, and the low chroma keeps it subdued rather than bright or saturated. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match this government color standard is suited to projects that need that restrained, technical look.

MyPerfectColor spray paint in this color can be used on equipment panels, enclosures, brackets, switch covers, vent grilles, housings, carts, shelves, and fabricated support parts where a Fed Std 595C reference is called out. It also fits touch-up on accessories and small components that need to stay visually consistent with a specified government-standard finish without requiring the original coating system.

Because the color is fairly quiet, it is less prone to the strong visual punch that comes with vivid coatings, but finish and substrate still matter. Gloss level, texture, and film build can shift how warm or gray the color appears, and darker or uneven surfaces may show through more readily if the underlying color is strong. On work where the surrounding coating is aged or weathered, a standard-reference match may still read differently from the existing part.

This is a match of the selected Fed Std 595C reference, not an official government-issued coating system. If the project is acceptance-critical or the target surface is an older in-service finish, compare against the actual part or approved sample when that level of match control is required.

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 34424 *

What does Fed Std 595C 34424 mean, and does it define the full coating system for MyPerfectColor paint?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 34424 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself specify chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion protection, or formal approval status.

MyPerfectColor can supply paint matched to Fed Std 595C 34424, but you still need to choose the right product format and coating system for your project requirements.

Will MyPerfectColor paint matched to Fed Std 595C 34424 automatically match an older in-service part?

Not always. Even when the code is correct, weathering, fading, sheen changes, texture, and the original coating system can make an older surface look different from a fresh match.

If you are touching up beside an aged coating, a standard-code match may not be the best visual result. In those cases, matching the existing part or repainting the full part can be the safer choice.

How should I reorder MyPerfectColor paint for Fed Std 595C 34424 to keep repeat orders consistent?

Reorder using the exact color code, Fed Std 595C 34424, and the same product type and finish you used before. That is the best way to reduce variation from one order to the next.

Keep in mind that substrate, primer, film build, and application method can still change the final appearance, so the same color code should be paired with the same process whenever possible.

What kinds of projects are Fed Std 595C 34424 and MyPerfectColor paint usually used for?

Before ordering, confirm the exact color code, product type, finish, and quantity so you do not end up with a paint that does not fit the project.
