I Sold this one some months back but its was beautiful in hand!
In my experience, pink and light green seem to be the most sought-after colors. Several years ago, I had two 1881-CC Morgans in the GSA cases, graded, one was pink, the other was light green. Both sold quickly to the same collector.

I’m partial to blue myself
Green is certainly one of the money colors. Rainbows in general are popular. And the more vibrant/vivid, the better. Good luster helps too.
Here's my new NGC 65 Star, can't wait to get it professionally photographed:
I’m partial to the bullseye look with blues & oranges. Not rare colors by any means, but I desire this toning.

I would say rainbow colors are better than any one color. As for patterns, textile is quite desirable. As are targets and end-rollers.
Here’s a solid green:
Some rainbows:
I like the rainbow progression colors and half - 3/4 moon crescents
I say green is the hardest to get in the color Morgan world. Here are two I just got.
emerald green seems to be biggest dollar color on Morgans
Up front she's a bit rough, and out back I think there's a pleasant tone going on ...

Two Morgans from my collection with pretty rainbow toning.
The obverse is an 1883-CC MS63 PCGS CAC.
The reverse is an 1886 MS62 PCGS.
The other side of each is white.
i have never seen a green Morgan. I have read a great deal on what chemicals or impurities are needed to generate particulat colors. I have also read a bit about the color wheel progression a rainbow coin show go thru . In all of that i don't remember any reference to green coins. Seems more of a copper thing. Beautiful coins in this post. Thanks. James
How about a bulls-eye?
