Patina is a type of shine. Itis not really shiny but dull shiny.
Basically it is surface corrosion. A metal will react with air, leaving a residue on the surface that is a different color than the metal. On sculpture, for example, this might give a pleasing color, in which case it would be called a patina.

It is a color change that takes place over time caused by oxidation. One example is how a copper roof turns green over time and exposure to the elements. A piece of furniture also develops a patina over time. Usually a patina enriches the appearance of an object, but it can also signal destruction, like rust.
From what I've seems it's a color on metals, gray, dark green and black. Man-made or age and elements.
effect produced on bronze by oxidation which turns the surface green

Patina can only come with age , and it is regarded as a good thing as it enhances the look of the object. For example wood can take on a patina with polishing , use and age. so can an old car which will have character if cared for and the leather will look and smell wonderful. A piece of pewter can develop a lovely patina after a number of years.
Patina is copper oxide. It gives a greenish and oldish look to objects made with copper.
