A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34272 is a medium green with a muted, gray cast and a slight yellow-olive undertone. It has moderate depth and low chroma, so it reads subdued rather than bright or clean.

This is a match of AMS-STD-595 34272 made by MyPerfectColor, not an official government-issued coating system. Custom spray paint in this color is often used on maintenance and fabrication items such as panels, enclosures, brackets, housings, cabinets, rails, carts, tool holders, and other parts that need to follow a specified Fed Standard or AMS-STD-595 reference. It can also be used for restoration, prototype, and color-coding work across metal, plastic, or previously coated components.

Because the color is medium-dark and restrained, it usually covers more predictably than a very light or highly saturated color, but surface texture and sheen can still change how it appears after spraying. Touch-up work next to older, weathered, or sun-changed coatings may show a difference even when the code is correct. For acceptance-sensitive work, a sample panel or an existing-part comparison may be more useful than the standard chip 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™ AMS-STD-595 34272 *

What does AMS-STD-595 34272 mean when I order MyPerfectColor paint?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34272 is the color reference target, not the full coating specification. When you order this color from MyPerfectColor, you are buying paint matched to the selected government color reference, a match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34272.

The code does not by itself choose chemistry, gloss, surface prep, primer, corrosion protection, or formal approval status. Those project details still need to be selected for the part, substrate, and service environment.

Will MyPerfectColor AMS-STD-595 34272 match an older painted part exactly?

Not always. AMS-STD-595 34272 defines the standard color target, but an existing coating may have faded, chalked, yellowed, worn, or changed sheen over time. Texture and film build can also change how the repaired area looks next to the surrounding finish.

If the job is a touch-up beside an aged part, the standard match may be close but not visually identical. For inspection-critical or highly visible repairs, a sample panel, a match to the existing part, or a full-part repaint may be the safer choice.

What product formats are available for AMS-STD-595 34272 from MyPerfectColor?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34272 can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in spray paint and, where offered for the project, other touch-up formats such as paint pens or brush-in-cap bottles. The color code stays the reference target regardless of format.

If you need a specific application method, check the product page for the available options on that item. The best format depends on the part size, substrate, and whether you are doing spot repair, small component touch-up, or a larger repaint.

How should I prep metal or an existing coating before using AMS-STD-595 34272?

For AMS-STD-595 34272, start with a clean, dry, grease-free surface. Remove loose rust, loose paint, dust, and contamination before applying any matched paint. On sound existing coatings, a light scuff can improve adhesion if the substrate and coating system allow it.

Bare metal and mixed substrates usually need the right primer for the job. Because prep affects both adhesion and appearance, it is smart to test a small area on the actual part before coating a larger surface.

Why can AMS-STD-595 34272 look different after application even if the color match is correct?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34272 is a color reference, but the final look also depends on gloss level, sheen, texture, film build, and the substrate underneath. A correct color match in matte, satin, or gloss can still appear different once it is on the part.

If you need the repaired area to blend with an existing finish, try to match the sheen as closely as possible and test on the actual substrate first. When the surrounding coating is aged or irregular, the finish can matter as much as the color code.
