color is more powerful than form.
The chemical, ferric nitrate produces yellows, golds, rusts, and reds while cupric nitrate produces blues and greens. These two chemicals along with liver of sulfur, which produces black and brown,
are the "big three" and are most often used for bronze patina.

the top image employed ferric nitrate and the bottom cupric nitrate.
