Verdigris(VER-duh-gree)

Quick Detail: A green-blue patina that forms on copper or brass.

Definition: Verdigris appears when metal ages, blooming into blue-green streaks and soft crusts. The color feels both beautiful and corroded, a sign of time working in the open air. Verdigris often gathers on statues, roofs, and old fixtures, turning shine into weathered character. The word suggests history made visible through chemistry. It captures decay that looks like art.
