A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 24272 reads as a muted medium green with a subtle yellow cast. It is not a bright or highly saturated green; the color has a restrained, practical look with moderate depth and a slightly earthy character.

MyPerfectColor custom-matched spray paint in this government color reference can be used on equipment panels, brackets, enclosures, housings, carts, cabinets, and fabricated parts where a Fed Std 595C match is needed for maintenance, restoration, or prototyping work. It is also a good fit for color-coding accessories, support hardware, and mock-up components that need to follow a specified standard rather than a guess from eye.

Because this color sits in a mid-depth range, it usually behaves more predictably than very light or very vivid colors, but finish, substrate, and film build still affect the final read. Gloss level and surface texture can make the same matched color look lighter, darker, or slightly cleaner once applied. Over darker or uneven substrates, additional coats may be needed for uniform coverage.

This is a match to the selected Fed Std 595C reference, not an official government-issued coating system. If you are touching up an older in-service part, the existing paint may have faded, aged, or changed sheen, so a standard-reference match can still look different beside the surrounding finish. For acceptance-sensitive work, matching the current part condition may matter more than the code alone.

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 24272 *

What does Fed Std 595C 24272 mean when I order MyPerfectColor paint?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 24272 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color MyPerfectColor is matching, but it does not by itself define the paint chemistry, gloss level, surface prep, corrosion system, or any formal approval status.

If your project calls out this code, order based on the color reference first and then separately choose the coating format and product type that fit the job requirements.

Is Fed Std 595C 24272 the right choice for touch-up on an older painted part?

It can be the right starting point, but a standard color match is not the same as matching an aged in-service finish. Weathering, fading, sheen changes, texture, and differences in the original coating can all make the repaired area stand out even if Fed Std 595C 24272 is the correct code.

For a visible repair, compare against the existing part or a sample panel when possible. If the surrounding coating has aged, a full-part repaint or an existing-part match may be the safer choice than matching only the standard reference.

Will the finish change how Fed Std 595C 24272 looks after application?

Yes. The color code sets the reference color, but gloss, matte or satin finish, texture, and film build can all change how Fed Std 595C 24272 reads after application.

If the finish on the surrounding part matters, select the coating sheen and application method carefully. A correct color with the wrong finish can still look mismatched in service.

Where is US Government Fed Std 595C 24272 commonly used?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 24272 is commonly used for specification-driven work such as equipment parts, panels, enclosures, brackets, housings, fixtures, color-coded hardware, prototypes, mock-ups, and maintenance or fabrication projects that call for a government color reference.

It is useful anywhere the goal is to match the specified standard rather than make a decorative color choice.

How do I choose the right product for Fed Std 595C 24272 based on the service environment?

Choose the product based on the environment and substrate, not just the color code. Interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, chemical exposure, and the material being coated can all affect which MyPerfectColor product is the best fit for Fed Std 595C 24272.

The color match answers the appearance target, but the coating system still needs to fit the job. For demanding service conditions, verify that the format and performance level you select match the project requirements before ordering.
