Is green a rare color for 928s?

I just about have my 82 done.. It's Moss Green Metallic repaint - Diamont - with a bit extra metallic. I just took these today for my insurance company. I'm trying to get my premiums reduced and they are suggesting "antique" for the '82 and "classic" for the other three. Here's hoping.
The last one, of the Porsche, is for Nicole, she requested it last time, but I wasn't happy with the rear bumper cover fit, so I waited until now.
I'm fabricating a new front "spoiler" from some front bumper covers that I got at the salvage yard. It will take a while, but it may be an alternative to the black one - that I don't really care for.
I had to include my son's new car. I know it's sacreligious, but it's NOT a Porsche 928. He loves corvetttes (note small c) and since I've worked him like a dog for the last two summers, I thought I owed it to him. It's an 89 ZR1 with 79K miles, Arctic White Pearl paint. Only 5 sold to the public with this paint - it's a repaint on this one ;-), but it's a great car. I got, as Brian, the Iceman would say, a "killer deal" since it has a salvage title, but the current owner has had it for 14 years and taken great care of it, I didn't really worry about it. I'm not a big fan of the side pipes, but he likes them. We took the fiberglas covers off this weekend and repainted them - lots of rock chips.
The background is our new - not quite finished - "Porsche" garage - heated and Brinks secure. It'll just hold exactly 4 Porsches.
What a coincidence!
hope eveyone had a great labor day.

It has a greygreen full leather interior in perfect condition, with burlwood and stainless door sills, plus a few other "tricks". It's totally awesome!!!

Today on the way into work I ran into another Moss Green owner. Nice guy, he said that he was going to try to make it to Frenzy this year. Hopefully he will and I can get some better pictures of Nick's 84. Sorry for the shot of my finger. Was using my camera phone.

Just a little note...I have seen Sam's Lagoon Green Metallic car at SF05 and I have to say, it has to be one of the best colors ever to adorn a 928! There are no pictures that can do this color justice! Just a downright BEAUTIFUL color and it makes the car truly look like a ridiculously expensive European GT car! 
I have to agree. This '93 GTS arrived in my driveway today.

Thanks Hoi, Bertrand, Cobalt. Going to start to sort through it today. BTW I will be putting my 86.5 "Blackie" 88K miles and '88 S4 95K miles up for sale soon. Will list here first. '88 was at Frenzy 2017. The one with the Paul Champagne interior.
