A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 36134 reads as a dark, muted gray with a slight green-yellow undertone. It is low in chroma, so the color stays restrained rather than looking clean, bright, or strongly colored, and the low LRV means it can appear quite deep once applied to a surface.
MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint for this Fed Std 595C reference can be used for spray-applied touch-up and finishing on brackets, housings, enclosures, panels, covers, carts, shelving, vent grilles, switch plates, railings, and hardware. It is also a practical choice for fabricated parts, prototypes, training pieces, and restoration work where components need to stay aligned to a government color standard.
Because the color is so muted, finish and substrate have a noticeable effect on the final read. A smoother or glossier application can make surface texture, film build, and small substrate differences more visible, while a flatter or rougher finish can make the color appear slightly darker and softer. Coverage is generally straightforward, but the exact number of coats can vary with the base color and the condition of the part.
For touch-up beside an existing coating, keep in mind that Fed Std 595C 36134 is a standard reference, not a match to any weathered or aged in-service surface. If the surrounding finish has faded, worn, or changed sheen, the new coating may read differently even when the color code is correct, so part-specific comparison may be needed for acceptance-sensitive work.

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 36134 *
Does Fed Std 595C 36134 define the whole coating system, or only the color target?
