Why do the nose pads on my glasses turn green--as opposed to some other color?

Do I have more in common with the Statue of Liberty than I might have thought? 🤔

TIL why my nose pads turned green! Thank you, knowledgeable Lemmster! 🏆

So the answer to your other question is "Yes!" The Statue of Liberty is also green because it's made of copper. It was metallic when it was first installed in 1886, but had turned fully green within 20 years.

And just for the record, they fully expected it to happen and knew the old lady would look good in verdigris.
