Unless you failed middle school science class, you probably remember that the shiny red/brownish color of the metal copper will oxidize over time and develop a thin green layer of patina, completely altering its appearance. In this short video from YouTuber channel geobeats, remember that the copper Statue of Liberty was once a brown color rather than its famous patina green.
The Statue of Liberty has been green for most of her life, but there was a time in her youth when she sported a different hue.
