What color is Verdigris?

1 Answer
What color is Verdigris?
The color verdigris is like the color turquoise. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a green color by artists in Greece. Hence its name is derived from vert-de-Grèce which means green of Greece. It was originally made by hanging copper plates over hot vinegar in a sealed pot until a green crust formed on the copper.
