Les Noms

Vert-de-Grèce is not a shade anyone chose from a chart.

It is what happens to copper left out in the weather: the green that arrives on its own, after years, and never leaves.

In old French it was vert de Grece, green of Greece, from the bronze the Greeks left standing in the open air. We named the first piece after that. Not for the colour. For the fact that the colour has to be earned.

The second colour is named the same way, and comes from the same metal. Copper left in the weather turns green; copper taken through fire turns red. Rouge-de-cuivre is the red the kilns have chased for centuries, and the one the fire still ruins more often than it grants. One metal, two colours, neither of them chosen.
