I will answer my own question - green = $ accept in this day and age when all cars are silver or gray

[911T1971]

why did the P family like green so much ?

According to Wolfgang Porsche, Ferry Porsche and his wife liked green and thats why their 911 was usually ordered in green or when the factory gave them cars as gifts, they did it in green shades too. It was a family tradition passed on to other members of the Porsche clan.
The Piechs did not share this and their cars came in all colors -several were in silver- though.

(On a side note, traditional austrian outfit was always w green fabric and its known that even Porsche company was located in Germany, the Porsche family itself was very keen as being Austrians and not of German origins.)
