Posted pics of 1980 E21 and 1982 E23 over on bimmerforums e23 board. Just easier to post since you asked in both places.

The ETK only shows three colors for 1980 728i, pine green, black and nutria, an olive green.

You can find the color code on the build sheet which on later cars is attached to the passenger's side rear seat bottom, a tractor feed chunk of paper that probably fell off the support it was attached to and could be sitting on the floor under the seat.

In my long search for a Pacific Blue dashboard many years ago, I came to the conclusion that all e28 dashboards were black. Based only on never seeing one for sale in a color other than black, and my pacific blue interior e28 that I bought new had a black dash. And it now has a crack free replacemeknt, also vlack.

Do some e28’s actually have dashboards matching the seat and door panel colors?
