The proportions of copper and zinc in brass can be varied over a wide range to make brass with varying properties

Yellow brass is 67% copper and 33% zinc

Red brass, or rose brass, is 85% copper and 15% zinc

There are a number of other formulations for brass of different properties.

To reduce confusion, modern usage is to avoid the term brass and speak of copper alloys.
