It's not jade, it's called "verdigris". It's supposed to approximate the
patina of aged copper. Unfortunately, I have yet to see a picture of it
anywhere that looks like the actual color...I guess it's just one of
those greens that doesn't print well. (Green is the most limited area of
the CMYK color gamut.)
