it's a dirty medium green color that is the lead oxide. if you look at old non-jacketed bullets the projectile gradually acquires a mucky green patina. it's not as blue as copper green, more grey.
it was a popular color for some time. especially if it's blended with some zinc oxide it's quite a pleasant pastel green.
to be fair, the romans used it for their household water pipes.
