A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26314 reads as a muted gray-green with very low chroma and a restrained, slightly cool cast. It sits close to neutral, so the green is present but not strong, and the overall effect is more subdued than vivid.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference can be used on control panels, equipment housings, brackets, switch covers, vent grilles, enclosures, support hardware, carts, and other fabricated parts where a specified Fed Std 595C finish is needed. It is also a practical choice for touch-up on smaller service parts or color-coded components that need to stay aligned with the reference code.
Because the color is low in chroma, it usually reads as more even than a bright color, but finish, surface texture, and substrate can still change the result noticeably. If you are repairing an existing coated part, keep in mind that a standard-reference match may not duplicate weathering, fading, or gloss changes in the old finish. Matching to the code is not the same as matching an aged in-service coating.

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 26314 *
What does Fed Std 595C 26314 specify, and what do I still need to choose for the project?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26314 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not choose the paint chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, coating system, or any formal approval requirements.
When you order from MyPerfectColor, you are selecting paint matched to Fed Std 595C 26314, and you still need to confirm the product format and finish that fit the job.
Will Fed Std 595C 26314 from MyPerfectColor match an older painted part exactly?
Not always. Fed Std 595C 26314 gives the color target, but an older in-service coating can look different because of weathering, fade, sheen change, texture, film build, or differences in the original coating system.
If you are touching up beside an aged finish, a standard-color match may still show a difference. For critical visible repairs, it can be better to match the existing part or repaint the full surface instead of relying on the standard code alone.
Where is Fed Std 595C 26314 typically used in maintenance, fabrication, or prototyping work?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26314 is commonly used anywhere a project calls for a defined government color reference, such as equipment panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, carts, fixtures, color-coded hardware, training aids, mock-ups, and prototype parts.
It is a practical choice when the goal is to stay aligned with the specification instead of making a decor or appearance-only decision.
What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of Fed Std 595C 26314?
Before ordering, confirm the exact code, the product type, the finish, the quantity, and whether you need a match to the standard or to an existing part. For Fed Std 595C 26314, those details matter because the color code alone does not define the full coating choice.
Custom-made color matches should be reviewed carefully before purchase because they are made to order and are not returnable or refundable.
What documentation applies to paint matched to Fed Std 595C 26314?
The SDS and product data apply to the specific MyPerfectColor paint or chemistry you order. The Fed Std 595C 26314 code is the color reference, not the safety document or the coating specification.
If the job is compliance-sensitive, confirm the project requirements separately. A correct color match does not by itself prove approval, certification, or acceptance for the full coating system.
