what shade of green is the statue of liberty?
verdigris
originally, the statue was a dull copper color, but shortly after 1900 a green patina, also called verdigris, caused by the oxidation of the copper skin, began to spread. as early as 1902 it was mentioned in the press; by 1906 it had entirely covered the statue. believing that the patina was evidence of corrosion, congress authorized for various repairs, and to paint the statue both inside and out. there was considerable public protest against the proposed exterior painting. the army corps of engineers studied the patina for any ill effects to the statue and concluded that it protected the skin, "softened the outlines of the statue and made it beautiful." the statue was painted only on the inside. the corps of engineers also installed an elevator to take visitors from the base to the top of the pedestal.
