A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26307 reads as a muted gray-green with a low-chroma, slightly yellow-leaning undertone. It has a medium-deep appearance rather than a bright or clear look, so the color tends to sit quietly on surfaces and show its olive cast more than any strong saturation.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference can be used on equipment panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, cabinets, carts, vents, switch covers, and other fabricated parts that need a specification-driven finish. It is also a practical choice for maintenance touch-up, prototype hardware, training pieces, and color-coded accessories where the target is the Fed Std 595C reference itself.

Because the color is restrained, it usually covers more predictably than a vivid color, but the medium-deep value can still reveal primer color, thin film build, or surface texture if the substrate is uneven. Sheen also affects the result: a glossier finish can make the green-brown undertone read deeper, while a flatter finish can mute it further. The code is a color reference target, not a coating system, so product chemistry, primer, and application method still need to match the job. For acceptance-sensitive repairs, the standard code may not match an aged or sun-changed part exactly, so finish and existing condition should be considered before ordering.

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 26307 *

What does Fed Std 595C 26307 mean, and does it define the whole coating system?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26307 is a government color reference target, not a full coating specification. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself define the paint chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion protection system, or formal approval status.

When you order this color from MyPerfectColor, you are buying MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected Fed Standard color reference, with the product format and finish chosen separately for your project.

Can Fed Std 595C 26307 be used to touch up an older part, or should I match the existing finish instead?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26307 can be the right target when the project is being matched to the standard itself, but it may not look identical next to an older in-service coating. Weathering, fade, sheen, texture, and prior coating differences can make a correct code look different on the repaired area.

For visible or acceptance-critical repairs, a full-part repaint, a sample panel, or a match to the existing part may be the safer choice than relying on the standard code alone.

What kinds of projects commonly use a match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26307?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26307 is commonly used on specification-driven projects such as equipment panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, carts, fixtures, training aids, mock-ups, and color-coded hardware.

It is also used in fabrication, maintenance, restoration, and prototype work where the goal is to follow a government color standard rather than make a decor choice.

What documentation applies when I order paint matched to Fed Std 595C 26307?

The Fed Std 595C 26307 code is the color reference, while SDS and product data apply to the specific MyPerfectColor paint product you choose. The code itself does not create the safety data or product documentation.

If your job is compliance-sensitive, verify the project requirements separately. Color match and coating-system approval are related, but they are not the same thing.

How do I reorder Fed Std 595C 26307 so the new parts stay consistent?

Reorder by the exact code, Fed Std 595C 26307, and keep the same product type and finish if you want the closest repeat result. That helps more than ordering by color name alone.

Even with the same code, substrate, preparation, and application method can change the final appearance. If you are matching an existing part, use the same code as the starting point and confirm the finish before you place the order.
