Paint it gold.
When a penny is heated in a flame, the copper metal reacts with oxygen in the air to form copper oxide. Copper oxide has a black color, but when it is heated at high temperatures, it can react with carbon in the flame to form a thin layer of elemental gold on the penny's surface, giving it a gold color.
To create the gold color, mix yellow with a touch of orange and brown. Adjust the ratios of each color to achieve the shade and brightness you desire.
Gold and blue do not mix to create a new color; they simply coexist when placed together. Mixing gold and blue directly would result in a muddy or greenish color.
basically, the zinc electrons in the NaOH solution coat the copper penny and then when you wave it over a Bunsen burner, the two metals form an alloy (a homogeneous mixture with two or more elements) and make brass, not gold.
