Permabrass
A thin gold plating that lets the brass colour show.
Christie's says permabrass is light gold, with gold plating no thicker than 1µm so the natural light gold colour of the brass shows through. It lists it among the hardware options on custom or limited-edition horseshoe-stamp bags; Hermès names permabrass alongside gold and palladium plating.
