Oddly enough, the copper crayons did not oxidize.

For half the kids, that fact gets them a little bit into chemistry. The other half just feel betrayed.
Inevergnu t1_iud5yx5 wrote
Some kids probably realize that just the outside of the crayon is green, but it's still yellow inside. You know like when you bite into moldy cheese and find it's mostly orange under the surface! Usually.

Is it all the way through or just the outsides? Some of the squiggles look like they got a bit golder after the initial green had rubbed off?
DiamondFlame OP t1_iub0jz6 wrote
Just the outsides. To varying thicknesses.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Kujo17 t1_iuc7jqx wrote
I'm blue/green colorblind, I can see both blue and green fine lol it's not as I guess "severe" as other colorblindness? But colors that are very similar usually like yellows and oranges, or sometimes browns and reds and oranges, purples and blues really fuck with me they all just kinda blend together in those closer shades. Usually it really doesn't even pop out or cause an issue or anything though
So anyway it's weird, the two on the right are completely grey almost silvery grey, the two on the left are grey but at the very top kind of light blue/blueish grey that fades into th same grey as the others after the first few scribbles (assuming you started at the top and moved down each time) If these are indeed all very green in appearance to everyone else then this is one of the few times where I'm actually surprised at the color it's supposed to be, and that's kind of cool lol

Gold does patina depending on the type of gold it is. I think white and rose gold patina over time because they are alloys and I think 14 or 18 karat gold patinas as well.
