I like Gary's suggestion.  "Antique" suggests the weathered copper, and eliminates
the confusion by having the color "copper" in the description (ie "copper green") of
a basically green element.  "Sea green" is okay, too, but I think "antique green" is
most apropos.

What color is the Statue of Liberty?

It's a new color, a light green that is supposed to look like weathered copper.
Personally, I plan to get at least one copy to see if there are parts enough to
make a copper roof.

The name for a weathered copper color is "VERDIGRIS"  (verd-dig-gris).  But that
might be a mouthful.  We should come up with a universal Lego name for this color.
Say....... Antique Green, or???

It's both very easy to remember, and descriptive as well because it associates the colour with the set it first appeared in. (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
