copperish

Tinted like pennies

Somewhat resembling copper in color, quality, or appearance.

A copperish tint suggests reddish-brown metallic hues without being fully copper: Her hair had a copperish sheen in the sunlight.

The word is informal and uncommon, typically describing colors or surfaces that approach but don't quite reach copper's distinctive warmth.
