copper red

Tarnished metal hue

Copper red is a warm reddish-brown color resembling polished copper metal—deeper than orange, with brownish undertones.

The term describes hair color, autumn leaves, ceramic glazes, and paint shades: Her copper red hair caught the afternoon light.

In pottery, copper red glazes are notoriously difficult to achieve, requiring precise kiln conditions.
