    Why ready made? There's a wealth of recipes around for creating various colours of patina, particularly on the copper alloys. Even household ammonia (with or without salt) will give you some striking results if it's the blues & greens you're after. The book The Colouring, Bronzing and Patination of Metals is a pretty comprehensive treatment of the subject, frequently with readily available chemicals.

    Of course, if you still only want ready-made - sorry, I'm stumped!
