A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 14109 reads as a deep, dark green with a cool blue-green cast. It has low lightness and moderate chroma, so it looks shaded and grounded rather than bright, while still staying clearly green.
MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in this reference is useful for spray-painted equipment and parts that need to match a government color standard, such as panels, enclosures, brackets, housings, support hardware, carts, shelving, vents, switch covers, and fabricated components. It is a practical choice for maintenance, fabrication, restoration, and prototyping work where a match of Fed Std 595C 14109 is needed across metal, plastic, or previously coated parts.
Because this is a dark color, surface preparation and finish matter. Sheen changes, orange peel, and substrate texture can alter how deep or green the color looks after application, and touch-up beside older or weathered coatings may show differences even when the code is correct. Dark colors can also make film build and edge coverage more noticeable during spray application.
For acceptance-critical or adjacency-sensitive work, compare against the existing part or an approved sample if the original finish has faded, chalked, or changed gloss over time. Matching the standard reference is not the same as matching an aged in-service coating.

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 14109 *
What does Fed Std 595C 14109 mean if I am ordering MyPerfectColor paint, and what does it not define?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 14109 is a government color reference target. When you order from MyPerfectColor, you are ordering paint matched to that reference, not an official government-issued coating system.
The code tells you the color target, but it does not by itself choose the chemistry, gloss level, surface preparation, corrosion protection, application method, or any formal approval status. If your project has a specification beyond the color code, confirm those requirements before ordering.
Will MyPerfectColor match Fed Std 595C 14109 the same as an older painted part already in service?
Not always. Fed Std 595C 14109 identifies the reference color, but an older in-service coating can look different because of fade, weathering, wear, contamination, or a prior repaint.
If you are touching up next to an existing finish, the standard match may still be correct, but the repaired area can read differently from the surrounding surface. For a visible repair, a full-part repaint or a match to the existing part may be the better choice if project tolerance is tight.
How can the finish affect how Fed Std 595C 14109 looks after MyPerfectColor applies it?
The color code is only part of the result. Gloss, matte, satin, texture, film build, and the substrate all affect how Fed Std 595C 14109 appears after application.
If the sheen or surface texture on your part matters, choose the finish carefully and do not rely on the code alone. A correct color match can still look different if the gloss level or surface profile does not align with the original part.
What kinds of projects use Fed Std 595C 14109 when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 14109 is commonly used for specification-driven work such as equipment panels, brackets, housings, enclosures, carts, fixtures, fabricated parts, training aids, mock-ups, and color-coded hardware.
It is a practical reference when a drawing, maintenance manual, procurement package, or prototype callout specifies the color and you need a repeatable target rather than a visual estimate.

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 14109 can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in spray paint and other formats where offered, including touch-up paint and paint pens.
