"Champagne" toning

Bochiman

What's it mean to you?
Examples you can post?

I see this on multiple dealer websites and, while I can understand "Rainbow" and "EOR" toned, as we ll as others, "champagne" toning makes me wonder.....(maybe because I am a non-drinker? )

So, if you could/would, what type of toning do you think of when you read/hear "champagne" toning?

I think of a champagne color, or a browish/orange color.

Don't know how to explain it, but it is a very beautiful color of toning.

Sometimes "champagne" toning is just that light haze that forms on silver coins, just before
it turns into green PVC residue.

I think it's sort of a pale golden yellow-- like what comes out when you drink too much champagne!

To me, champagne toning, is a very light translucent golden brown color of toning. It seems, however, that it is often used to make ugly mottled brown toning sound attractive.

I'd call this champagne toning.

I have only seen champagne tarnish on silver... it is a pale, golden yellow - usually over the entire surface. Sometimes it does not reach the center, and is a slightly (very slightly) deeper yellow towards the edges. Cheers, RickO

I thought this one looked like "pink champagne"

To me champagne should be a light gold color on a silver coin:

This is the problem I have whenever I see a site that states "champagne toning", particularly if they don't have pictures or good pictures.
Too many different thoughts on what it may mean.

I don't think anyone who posted was wrong, and "goldish" is in a lot of them, but I don't think everyone was thinking the same thing...

This would be close.

I've always assumed it to mean a pinkish hue. I guess the only coin I have that might fit the term is this one:

What is the cause of Champagne toning? I always wondered how this color is created.

That color term is used by car makers a lot. I had one in this color but wasn't fond of the color name. The color was close to this.
