Well, in his defense, I did ask how to get the pipe to match the fittings. In fact, I even
said that getting them to match was more important than why there was a difference in color.

Rub a section with ketchup or other acidic tomatoes sauce, let sit and
clean after. Do they match? I have an old brass boat prop I may use
it on. Dry and spray with shellac. I guess climate change makes
things look different
