I don't know if it has an official name yet, but
If you really can't wait, you can mix two colors in LDraw to make a new
color. This often doesn't return great results, but it's worth a try.
The formula for mixed colors is:
M = 256 + A * 16 + B
A and B are the two color values, M is the mixed color value.
To make verdigris, you might try mixing green (color 2) and light gray (7).
256 + 2 * 16 + 7 = 295
If that's not light enough, try using White (15) instead of light gray.
Too light? Try dark gray (8) instead. Don't like the edge color? Switch
the A and B values.
Dave!
