Original Note:
The green color is the result of the copper surface oxidizing into tenorite. Tenorite and oxidized copper then mixed with the sulfuric acid in the air to create the color we see today. This patina is protective and an intended feature of the statue's design. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/the-real-reason-the-statue-of-liberty-is-green/3910988/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patina
