As copper weathers, it gains a patina.  This is what gives the copper the
green color.  I would suggest 'patina green' as the name we use for the
color.

(...) 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??? Gary Istok (26 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
