"Copper Green" is also a brand of Copper Naphthalate (I think)
in solution that is used to paint on wood to inhibit termites
and rot. It smells horrible.
I vote for "verdigris". If there is already a word that
has the correct definition, we should use it!
If a newcomer doesn't know what it means,
they can look it up in a dictionary. I don't think the word
is any more obscure than "kepi" or "sprue", for example.
And "verdigris" has the precise, correct meaning already.
The other suggested words require more of an extension to their
definitions to fit the new Lego color.
