Technically, I think verdigris would be the best.  However, if someone who
didn't know the etymology of the term read a description stating that a 1x2
brick was "verdigris", they would have no clue as to what color the brick
was unless they had *seen* that color before.  The beauty of "antique green"
is that it is a much more "user friendly" description, IMO

I vote for 'verdigris' as well. If there is already a word or phrase for
something, why make up another word or phrase.

I have to say I feel the same way.
