A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 25109 is a deep blue-green with a cool cast and restrained saturation. It reads darker than a medium color and carries enough gray to keep the appearance subdued rather than vivid. With an LRV of 11.76, it will look notably low-light and can appear even deeper on textured surfaces or in stronger finishes.

This is MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match the selected Fed Standard color reference, not an official government-issued coating system. It is a practical option when a drawing, maintenance document, procurement package, or restoration target calls for Fed Std 595C 25109 and the goal is to reproduce that reference in a usable paint format.

Common spray-paint uses include equipment panels, enclosures, brackets, access covers, switch plates, rails, carts, fixtures, hardware, and fabricated parts that need to stay aligned with the same government color code. It can also be used for touch-up on mixed-substrate assemblies, small accessories, or newly made components that must visually coordinate with a specified Fed Std 595C finish.

Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, surface condition and film build can affect how it reads after application. Thin coverage over lighter or uneven substrates may look less uniform until the coating builds, and sheen differences can make repairs stand out next to older paint. For adjacency-sensitive or acceptance-critical work, matching the existing part or a sprayed sample panel is often more informative than the code 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 25109 *

What does Fed Std 595C 25109 specify, and what does it not specify?

A match of US Government Fed Std 595C 25109 is a government color reference target. It tells you which color to match, but it does not by itself choose the coating chemistry, gloss level, surface prep, corrosion protection, application method, or formal approval status.

For projects that call out this code, order MyPerfectColor paint matched to Fed Std 595C 25109, then confirm the rest of the coating requirements separately from the color reference.

Will Fed Std 595C 25109 match an older painted part for touch-up?

Not always. Even if the code is correct, an in-service coating can look different because of fade, weathering, sheen change, texture, film build, or an earlier coating system that does not exactly match the standard chip.

If the repair will sit beside an aged finish and appearance is important, a sample panel, an existing-part match, or a full-part repaint may be the better choice than relying on the standard code alone.

How do I reorder Fed Std 595C 25109 from MyPerfectColor and keep the result consistent?

Reorder by the exact code, Fed Std 595C 25109, and keep the product type and finish the same on repeat orders. That is the best way to improve consistency across parts or reorders.

Even with the same color reference, substrate, surface prep, spray method, and film build can change the final appearance, so keep those variables as consistent as possible when the project needs matching parts.

Is Fed Std 595C 25109 a suitable reference for panels, brackets, and prototypes?

Yes, Fed Std 595C 25109 is commonly used when a project needs a specification-driven color target for equipment parts, panels, brackets, enclosures, housings, mock-ups, training aids, or fabricated components.

MyPerfectColor can supply a custom-matched paint for that reference, which is useful when the goal is to keep parts aligned to the government color standard rather than to choose a decorative color.

Can I choose Fed Std 595C 25109 just by color, or do I need to match the environment too?

You need to match both the color reference and the service environment. Fed Std 595C 25109 tells you the color target, but it does not tell you whether the right product should be spray paint, touch-up paint, or another coating type for interior use, exterior exposure, abrasion, chemicals, or a specific substrate.

For MyPerfectColor paint matched to Fed Std 595C 25109, choose the format and coating type based on how the part will be used, then confirm the color reference separately.
