A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 34272 reads as a muted medium-deep green with a soft olive undertone. It is neither bright nor heavily saturated; the color sits in a subdued, practical range with enough depth to feel noticeably darker than a light utility green.
MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in this color is suited to specification-driven work on panels, enclosures, brackets, housings, support hardware, carts, racks, switch covers, and similar parts. It can also be used on prototypes, training aids, and restoration components when the goal is to match the selected Fed Std 595C or AMS-STD-595 reference on a real object rather than approximate the look by eye.
Because the color is moderately dark and relatively low in chroma, sheen, texture, and substrate can change how it reads after spraying. Surface prep, film build, and the underlying color can affect uniformity, especially on edges, stamped parts, and previously coated surfaces. A rough or uneven substrate may make the finish appear deeper and less even.
If you are matching an existing in-service part, aging, fading, and gloss loss may shift the look of the old coating even when the standard code is correct. For acceptance-sensitive work, a project-specific sample or direct comparison to the actual part may be more useful than relying on the standard reference 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™ Fed Std 595C 34272 *
What does Fed Std 595C 34272 mean, and what does it not tell me about the coating I need?
A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 34272 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not choose the coating chemistry, gloss, primer, surface prep, corrosion protection, or formal approval status for your project.
MyPerfectColor can supply paint matched to Fed Std 595C 34272, but you still need to select the product format and coating system that fits the part, substrate, and use environment.
If I use Fed Std 595C 34272 for a touch-up, will it match an older painted part exactly?
Not always. Even if the color code is correct, an older coating can look different because of weathering, fade, sheen change, texture, film build, or a prior coating system that is not the same as the original standard reference.
For repairs next to an aged finish, the safest path is often to compare against the actual part or to repaint the full visible area instead of relying only on the code. MyPerfectColor can make a match of Fed Std 595C 34272, but the in-service finish may still read differently on the repaired area.
How should I prepare metal or previously coated parts before applying Fed Std 595C 34272?
Clean and degrease the surface first, then remove loose material and scuff the area so the new coating can bond properly. On metal, check for rust or corrosion and address it before painting. On existing coatings, confirm that the old finish is sound and test the new paint on a small area first.
For mixed substrates or parts with unknown prior coatings, a test patch is important before you commit to the full job. The right preparation step depends on the substrate and the product format you choose for the Fed Std 595C 34272 match.
How do I reorder Fed Std 595C 34272 so the color stays consistent across parts or future jobs?
Reorder by the exact code, Fed Std 595C 34272, and keep the same product type and finish whenever possible. That gives you the best chance of repeatable results across multiple parts or later touch-up work.
Even with the same code, the final appearance can shift with substrate, application method, film thickness, and curing conditions. If consistency matters, document the exact product format and how the first sample was applied.
When is a standard match to Fed Std 595C 34272 not enough for approval or acceptance?
If the job is inspection-critical, program-controlled, or governed by a procurement package or engineering authority, a code match alone may not be enough. In those cases, the project may require a sample panel, an existing-part match, or a project-specific approval step.
Fed Std 595C 34272 identifies the color target, but it does not by itself guarantee compliance or acceptance. If the paperwork calls for a specific coating system or approval process, follow that requirement before ordering.
