If its discoloration without texture change I'd say patina, if discoloration and texture change I'd call it rust.

Aren't they both different ends of the oxidation scale? Like when copper goes blue, that's patina and when iron goes brown it's rust

Depends. Patina is something that adds to something through weathering, rust is deterioration. Bronze becomes relatively corrosion resistant with a proper patina, for instance. Passivation layers are a thing.

Honest question. When the thing in question was made then sold. Did it look all brown and a tad gritty ?Patina is a buzz word.

I think it depends what the item is. If it’s a wrench with rust on it, then it’s rust. If it’s a dresser from the 1700s and there’s dirt use on it over the years of use, that’s a patina.

I feel like this needs more context in order to be answered. When I hear the word rust, I think of pitting and damage to the metal. When I hear patina, I think of a change in color over time or a thin coat of tarnish. To me patina just shows something is old, while rust is destructive.
