The Statue of Liberty is a pale blue‑green (often called “liberty green” or “patina green”) today.

Why it looks green now

  • The statue is covered in copper, which was originally the color of a new penny (reddish‑brown).
  • Over a few decades, the copper reacted with air and moisture, forming a green patina on the surface.
  • That patina is a stable protective layer, which is why the statue has stayed that blue‑green shade since the early 1900s.

Fun bit of history

  • When first assembled, Lady Liberty would have looked brown, then passed through pinkish and darker brown phases before turning fully green by around 1920.

So if you’re answering “what colour is the Statue of Liberty?” for today: it’s a weathered blue‑green /turquoise, not copper brown anymore.
