A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26630 reads as a very light, low-chroma gray with a faint green cast. It is muted rather than clean, with a soft neutral character that stays close to off-white without becoming bright.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference can be used for touch-up and repaint work on panels, housings, enclosures, brackets, fixtures, cabinets, control boxes, and fabricated parts where 26630 is the target. It also works for color-coded accessories, training aids, and prototype components that need to visually align across metal, plastic, composite, or previously coated surfaces.
Because the color is very light and subdued, substrate color and surface preparation can affect coverage more than they would with a darker shade. Over dark or uneven surfaces, additional coats may be needed for a uniform appearance, and sheen differences can be more noticeable on repair work or when the new coating sits next to an older finish.
If you are matching an existing in-service part, age, weathering, and finish can make the painted surface read differently from the standard reference even when the code is correct. For acceptance-sensitive work, a match to the current part or an approved sample panel may be a better target 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 26630 *
What does Fed Std 595C 26630 mean when I order MyPerfectColor paint?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26630 is a government color reference target. When you order MyPerfectColor paint, the code tells us which color to match, but it does not by itself define chemistry, gloss, prep method, coating system, or approval status.
If your project has a technical order, drawing, or procurement requirement, confirm those details separately before ordering.
Will MyPerfectColor Fed Std 595C 26630 match an aged existing coating on my part?
Not always. A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 26630 is a standard color target, but an older in-service coating can look different because of fade, weathering, sheen change, texture, contamination, or prior repainting.
If you are repairing next to an existing part and appearance is critical, a match to the existing surface or a sample panel may be a better choice than matching the code alone.
How do I reorder Fed Std 595C 26630 for another part and keep it consistent?
For the best repeatability, reorder the exact code, the same product type, and the same finish for Fed Std 595C 26630. That gives you the closest starting point for consistency across parts or batches.
Even then, substrate, surface prep, application method, and film build can change the final appearance, so keep those variables as close as possible.
Does the finish change how Fed Std 595C 26630 looks after application?
Yes. Finish can change how Fed Std 595C 26630 looks after application. Gloss, satin, matte, texture, and film thickness all affect the perceived color.
If the project has an existing sheen or a specified finish, choose the closest finish option instead of relying on the color code alone.

MyPerfectColor can supply a match of Fed Std 595C 26630 in spray paint and other matching formats where available, including touch-up paint, paint pens, and brush-in-cap bottles.
