Webster is out of date - patina simply means a weathered and/or age-darkened finish
to antiquers, and can apply to copper, bronze, nickel, wood, etc, etc, etc.

Weathered GREEN would make the most sense, as people would instantly know it is a
shade of GREEN.

verdigris, according to www.webster.com, can be greenish or bluish, and is only
secondarily associated with copper.
patina, again according to Webster, is exactly the name of
greenish, weather-aged copper.
