A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34087 is a very dark, low-chroma olive-brown with a subdued yellow-green undertone. It reads earthy and quiet rather than clear or saturated, with low lightness and a muted, gray-cast character.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this government color reference can be used on equipment panels, brackets, enclosures, housings, carts, support fixtures, vents, switch covers, rail components, and fabricated metal parts where a specification-driven finish is needed. It also fits touch-up work, restoration pieces, prototypes, and color-coded hardware when the target is the reference color itself rather than an aged neighboring coating.

Because this color is dark and relatively muted, finish and substrate condition can change how it reads after application. Surface texture, film build, and gloss level may make welds, repair edges, and uneven prep more noticeable, and lighter or patched substrates can show through until coverage builds enough to hide contrast.

This is a MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected Fed Standard or AMS-STD-595 reference, not an official government coating system. If you are matching a weathered or sun-faded part, the existing finish may not look the same as a fresh match to the standard chip, so a project-specific sample or existing-part match may be needed when acceptance is sensitive.

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 34087 *

What does AMS-STD-595 34087 mean, and does it define the full coating system?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34087 is a government color reference target. It tells you the color to match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion protection, application method, or approval status.

For ordering, treat this as MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected government color standard, not as an official government-issued coating system.

If I am touching up an existing surface in AMS-STD-595 34087, will MyPerfectColor match the old finish exactly?

Not always. Even when the color code is correct, an aged coating can look different because of fade, weathering, sheen change, texture, film build, or the original coating system.

If you are repairing beside an in-service finish, a code match may be close enough for some work, but a full-part repaint or an existing-part match can be the better choice when appearance or acceptance is critical.

How should I prep metal or an existing coating before applying AMS-STD-595 34087?

Start with clean, dry, grease-free surfaces. On metal, remove contaminants and any loose corrosion before coating. On an existing coating, clean and scuff sand so the new paint can mechanically bond, then test on a small area first if the substrate or finish condition is uncertain.

If corrosion is present or the part has mixed substrates, choose a primer and system that fit the surface condition before applying MyPerfectColor paint matched to AMS-STD-595 34087.

If my project calls for AMS-STD-595 34087, is the code alone enough for approval?

Sometimes yes, but not always. If the procurement package, engineering authority, or inspection process requires more than a standard reference match, you may need a sample panel, an existing-part match, or a project-specific approval step.

The color code identifies the target color, but it does not replace the project's own acceptance rules for the coating system or the finished part.

What kinds of parts are commonly painted with AMS-STD-595 34087?

A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 34087 is commonly used for specification-driven work on parts such as panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, carts, fixtures, and other fabricated components.

It is also used for prototyping, mock-ups, training aids, and color-coded hardware where the goal is to follow a government color standard rather than make a decor choice.
