Pigment & Material
Basic copper acetate Cu(CH₃COO)₂·Cu(OH)₂. The same process that turns copper roofs and bronze statues green over time.
Origin & History
The oldest green pigment — created by exposing copper plates to acetic acid (vinegar). Used since ancient Greece.
Psychology
Time made visible. Verdigris is what happens when copper meets the world — it is the colour of things that have endured.
In Culture
The Statue of Liberty, old copper roofs, ancient bronze sculptures. In medieval manuscripts, verdigris illuminations are slowly eating through the vellum.
