Agreed that that's not a factory finish (rather, someone "upgraded"). Copper is a beautiful finish. I use it a lot, but it's a major pain in the keester. When you see beautiful copper pots hanging in a French kitchen, you know that someone is putting a lot of time and effort into keeping them bright and shiny. Same would need to be true of bright and shiny backsplashes and trim. Without a plasticote (which makes them less shiny), they will quickly tarnish and stain. Keeping them shiny is a lot of work. So you will need to either work a lot, coat them with something, or learn to love a weathered patina! ;-)
