A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 24260 is a muted green with a cool blue lean and moderate depth. It reads as a subdued, practical color rather than a vivid green, with enough chroma to stay clearly green without becoming bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color standard is well suited to maintenance and fabrication work on panels, brackets, enclosures, housings, cabinets, rails, support frames, vent covers, and other small parts where a consistent specified finish matters. It can also be used on hardware, tool carts, and color-coded accessories when the goal is to keep multiple components aligned to the same reference color.

Because this is a moderately deep, muted color, it often covers more evenly than a light or highly saturated shade, but the final read still depends on substrate color, texture, film build, and gloss. The code itself does not determine gloss level or coating chemistry. A darker or uneven base may show through more readily at thin edges, and a glossier finish can make surface prep marks and sheen differences more noticeable. When matching an existing in-service part, the standard reference may not fully match sun-faded or weathered coatings, so the aged finish can still look different even if the code is correct.

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 24260 *

Does Fed Std 595C 24260 define only the color, or does it also define the full coating system for this project?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 24260 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself define paint chemistry, surface preparation, gloss level, corrosion protection, or formal approval status.

If your project needs a specific coating system or acceptance requirement, confirm those details separately before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to Fed Std 595C 24260.

Will Fed Std 595C 24260 look the same when I use it for touch-up next to an older coating?

Not always. A correct match to Fed Std 595C 24260 can still look different beside an existing finish if the older coating has faded, weathered, changed sheen, or developed texture differences.

For repairs on in-service parts, compare the match against the actual part when possible. In some cases, a full-part repaint or an existing-part match is a better choice than matching the standard chip alone.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom-matched Fed Std 595C 24260 product?

Confirm the exact color code, product format, finish, and quantity before you place the order. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match Fed Std 595C 24260 is made to your selection, so it is important to verify the details first.

Custom color orders are not returnable or refundable, so check the specification and your project requirements carefully before purchase.

If my job calls for Fed Std 595C 24260, is a code match enough for acceptance, or do I need a panel or existing-part match?

A standard code match is not always enough for acceptance. If the procurement package, engineering authority, or inspection process requires a sample panel, an existing-part match, or a project-specific approval step, you should follow that requirement instead of relying on the code alone.

Fed Std 595C 24260 identifies the reference color, but acceptance-sensitive work may depend on the actual part, the approved coating system, or a reviewed sample.

Can the finish change how Fed Std 595C 24260 looks after it is applied?

Yes. Gloss, matte, satin, texture, and film build can all change how Fed Std 595C 24260 appears after application, even when the color match itself is correct.

If the finish is important to the job, match the product type and sheen to the project requirement, not just the color code.
