I'm going to be building something - not plumbing - with 3/4" copper pipe. As you can see from
this image, the pipe is a different "color" than the fittings. The fittings are bright copper, the
pipe itself is much duller.

Well, that's easily explained. The old copper is duller than the new
stuff. I've done lotsa work with copper. You might even call me a
copper buff.
Any more questions?
