Default Horizon Blue rarity

When I look at the 928 registry I am seeing just a few us cars in the color Horizon Blue 37X. First year of the color was 1991 from what I can see. Only 2 in the registry for 1991,. and about 7 GTS (some duplicate entry's there)

Anyone know of any other 928's in Horizon Blue for the US?

Not for the US but I know one Horizon Blue 1991 S4 in Montréal.
With a Cobalt Blue interior.
Not very many indeed.

I believe that is the other US model besides mine. I know it was in Canada and had a blue interior, where mine has a triple grey interior

How Rare is Horizon Blue Metallic?
We judge rarity of Horizon Blue Metallic on a one to five scale, (in the purely subjective opinions of our editors).
Five paint cans indicate the rarest of the rare, the unicorn colors. One paint can is reserved for the most common colors. 2-4 are somewhere in between.

I'm seeing 8 1993 GTS entries and no duplicates, though I would note we also show a single '94 model in there.

Harvey - If you're referring to production number 0042 that's listed twice, please note one entry is an early production '93 and the other is a late production '93. If that's not what you're referring to, please advise so I can correct it. Thanks

So my guess is only 10 928s in Horizon Blue. To me that is rare.

It's fairly rare for sure. I bet most of the cars that were painted that color were 911s. Hence the 3 cans instead of more.

I have an auto 944 that is Nile Green Metallic. Rennbow says that is 5 paint cans, so I guess I have a unicorn, a very slow and asthmatic one...
