Yes, there is a blue component within (not (much) rusted) steel. I just took a
look into an exibition documentation of an exihibition of art work by Fritz
Koenig, with is one of the most important "rust" artist of the last decades. He
really let rust his sculptures. And if you know his work you will never say that
it has to be bronze or copper or everything else. He really is a master of his
rusted art. And there is only rust in most of his objects, more or less, no
blueish (young) steel. My opinion here is that Lucy should be completely rusted,
in some areas more than in others. A classical issue for the occlusion map
baking. Unfortunatelly Lucy comes without an uv-mapping.

Best regards,
Michael
