A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 37034 is a very dark blue-gray with a charcoal lean and a cool, muted character. The color has very low chroma, so it reads subdued rather than vivid, and its low light reflectance gives it a deep, near-black appearance in many lighting conditions.
MyPerfectColor custom-matched spray paint in this government color reference is often used on equipment panels, enclosures, brackets, cabinet doors, housings, vent covers, switch plates, and fabricated support hardware. It can also be used on carts, racks, tools, training aids, and prototype parts when a dark blue-gray needs to be carried consistently across metal, plastic, or other finished components.
Because the color is so deep, surface prep, primer color, film build, and sheen will affect the result more than they would with a lighter color. A darker undercoat can help reduce show-through, while gloss or semi-gloss finishes may make texture, sanding marks, and repair edges more noticeable. If you are matching an existing in-service coating, aging, fade, and gloss loss can make the old surface read differently from the standard reference, so a code match and an aged-part match are not always the same.

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 37034 *
What does AMS-STD-595 37034 mean when ordering MyPerfectColor paint for AMS-STD-595 37034?
AMS-STD-595 37034 identifies a government color reference target. When you order MyPerfectColor paint matched to AMS-STD-595 37034, the code tells us which color to match, but it does not by itself define the coating chemistry, gloss, surface preparation, corrosion protection system, or any formal approval status.
If your project has a procurement or technical order requirement beyond color, confirm those requirements separately before ordering.
Will MyPerfectColor match for AMS-STD-595 37034 be enough for a touch-up next to an older coating?
Sometimes, but not always. A correct match to AMS-STD-595 37034 can still look different next to an existing finish that has faded, weathered, changed sheen, or built up texture over time.
If the repair is small and the surrounding coating is in good condition, a standard color-code match may be acceptable. If the area is large, highly visible, or acceptance-critical, matching the existing part or using a sample panel is often the safer choice.
Where is AMS-STD-595 37034 typically used when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?
A match of US Government AMS-STD-595 37034 is commonly used for specification-driven work such as equipment parts, panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, carts, fixtures, training aids, mock-ups, and other fabricated components where a government color reference is needed.
It is a practical choice when the goal is to coordinate parts to a defined standard for maintenance, fabrication, prototyping, restoration, or color coding, rather than to make a decorative color selection.
How should I plan dry time and recoat timing for MyPerfectColor paint matched to AMS-STD-595 37034?
Dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different milestones. The right schedule depends on the product format you choose for AMS-STD-595 37034, such as spray paint or touch-up paint.
Plan the job around the product instructions for the specific finish and coating type you order. If your project has handling limits or a narrow recoat window, allow enough time for each stage before putting the part back in service.
Why can MyPerfectColor AMS-STD-595 37034 look different after application even if the color match is correct?
Color code is only part of the final appearance. Gloss level, matte or satin sheen, surface texture, film build, and the substrate itself can all change how AMS-STD-595 37034 looks after it is applied.
If you need the closest visual result, choose the product finish that best fits the project and test it on the actual surface when the work is appearance-sensitive.
