Show me your green bikes!

I am going to be refinishing one of my frames. I am currently thinking green and am now trying to decide on a shade. Show me your green bikes.

And believe it or not, this '89 Paramount actually is green (Emerald Black, officially.)

The show and tell pics of this bike are in a crashed hard drive. This is my 1974 Ron Cooper, crashed and rebuilt in 1976, repainted 2014 color on this phone not so good. Similar to British Racing Green. Love it. This has a little bit more blue in it than the traditional.
