Does brass metal ever turn green?

Its caused by the oxidization due to the massive amounts of green plants grown in the Emerald Triangle. The sheer potency of these plants gives off a green hue that attaches itself to bronze (and copper) through reverse osmosis. The 'green' that you see is actually black mold and it is highly advised that you either clean it immediately or take it to a sanitation facility. Hope this helps.

The copper in the bronze alloy will oxidize. The oxidized copper is going to be green.

Over many years, and bronze, like iron, corrodes when it is put in contact with air (oxygen) and humidity. The corroding causes the metal to slowly change the color to green..

It can.

Brass contains copper, and many copper salts are either green or blue, so it's entirely possible for a piece of brass to develop a greenish patina.

Yes, over time brass will oxidize and turn green. However, you can remove the oxidation by using a polish that is made for brass. In some cases the green patina may be desirable.
