Coppercoloured

Coppercoloured is an English adjective used to describe a color that resembles copper metal: a warm reddish-brown hue with a subtle metallic sheen. The term covers a range from bright, polished copper to darker, muted tones, and it can also describe surfaces that have oxidized to produce patina, including brown and greenish tints such as verdigris.

In color terminology, coppercoloured tones lie in the warm part of the spectrum between orange and brown. They are often associated with richness and earthiness. In digital color spaces, copper tones are commonly approximated by hex values around #B87333, with lighter variants near #C4874B and darker ones near #7A3F23.

Common applications include fashion, interior design, and art, where coppercoloured elements provide warmth and metallic resonance without using actual metal. Hair color descriptions also use coppercoloured to denote red-orange shades with metallic luster. Coppercoloured surfaces can be achieved through coatings, pigments, or natural oxidation.

Spelling variants follow regional preference: copper-coloured in British English and copper-colored in American English.
