Apparently not. It's a solid sparkle grey which Trek called "pewter" I think, and per the web site:
"The early bikes, from 1976 to 1981, were available in numerous colors. For these, color is not indicative of model. If color is not given for an 82 and newer model, it maybe available in the brochure for that year."
