light green color (called a patina)
Yes the statue of liberty was originally sculptured white but when it was placed in New York the waves always crashed against it causing it to turn a shade of green
The original color of the Statue of Liberty was copper. The Statue of Liberty turned green because the weathering oxidized the statue.
. The Statue of Liberty is clad in copper, which corrodes to a green color
The Statue of Liberty is made out of a copper element. When copper erodes or is exposed to oxygen progressively, it turns green.
The statue of liberty turned green because of chemical weathering.
statue of liberty was made out of green asphalt and lucid copper.. by RC
No. Gold is too expensive, and there is barely enough gold in the world to account for a monument the size of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is and always has been made of steel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually the guy above me is wrong...steel wouldn't explain the green... the only thing that would oxidize into that green shade is a malleable copper that would appear gold.... so pretty much yeah, gold to the eye, but cheap copper... it'd look pretty cool tho...
The statue of liberty is not painted green, the copper other metals have gotten oxidized, which turns the metals green.
No, the Statue Of Liberty used to be copper. Due to weathering and nature, the Statue became the color it is now: Green. DN +++ IT still IS copper. The green is verdigris: a film of copper oxide on the surface.
It's aged copper so it's like a penny that's why the statue of liberty is green
