When the Statue of Liberty was unveiled in 1886, it was a shiny brown color, similar to a penny. The statue's copper panels oxidized and changed color over time due to a gradual weathering process. The copper's surface began to oxidize as soon as it was assembled, forming a dark brown mineral coating called tenorite. This tenorite, along with oxidized copper, then combined with sulfuric acid in the air to create the statue's current green color. The copper also reacts with air and moisture to form a copper carbonate called patina, which protects the copper underneath from further weathering
