The verdigris can be polished off, but will soon form again.
Historically verdigris was used as a pigment for artists, producing the most vibrant shade of green available in the middle ages.
Did you know that verdigris can also be used to describe sailors? I guess it could be quite apt if they're under the weather.

Hi Patsy - I didn't know verdigris referred to sailors ... interesting tidbit ... but the colour is always delightful to see. Lovely photo - cheers Hilary
I think it turns them a cool shade of blue-green.
I used to play bugle in the Boys Brigade and my right palm would be green from holding the copper instrument in my sweaty hand during a parade.
Verdigris is a neat term to add to my vocabulary. I can imagine using it in a description. :)
thanks for this word.. i just know it now :)

I've always liked that word - and the shade of green it produces! Never knew the bit about sailors.
