A medium gunmetal grey metallic originating from Audi's contemporary palette — Dolomite Grey Metallic (Dolomitgrau Metallic, code LY7V) was offered on the 924 from 1978 to 1980. Rennbow confirms it was 'not particularly common on the 924, where it was only offered in 1978 as part of the Special Edition package that consisted of Dolomite Grey paint, with black and white pinstripes and a special checkered Pasha cloth interior.' Colors.rs confirms codes 645, 770, and LY7V all pointing to the same formula on the 924 in 1979 and 1980. The Special Edition association with black and white pinstripes and the celebrated Pasha cloth interior makes any surviving 924 in documented Dolomite Grey Special Edition specification a significant collector piece — the combination of color, stripe package, and interior is among the most visually distinctive factory configurations of the 924's production run.
