I like Gary's suggestion. "Antique" suggests the weathered copper, and eliminates the confusion by having the color "copper" in the description (ie "copper green") of a basically green element. "Sea green" is okay, too, but I think "antique green" (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I speak French, I am pretty sure the word isn't originally French. My guess would be Italian. Also I believe the spelling is: verdegris. I may be wrong. Kev Z 142 (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I don't speak Fench, but verdigris sounds like gray-green to me. (Well, green-gray, actually). IMO, gray-green is fairly descriptive and easy to remember. --Bram Bram Lambrecht BXL34@po.cwru.edu (URL) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Verdigris is a lot to try and remember, but Copper Green is counter intuitive (IMHO) because copper isn't usually green... Actually, what I really want is proof that this "new" green is, in fact, completely new, and not a light green that's (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
