Default Why are copper fittings brighter than copper pipe?

I'm going to be building something - not plumbing - with 3/4" copper pipe. As you can see from

pipe itself is much duller.

Anybody know why that is or more importantly, how to shine up the pipe so that it matches
the fittings?

Why do you need to shine the pipe ????

Copper tarnishes.

Get over it.
