Here's my example. What do you guys think? I'm confident it's not an SMW, as its not the classic SMW 'blue'.

Construction is very nice, stitching/thread matches that of my Panther-Store items. Originally came with a brown woven lace, swapped for leather. Originally came from RAU. Who made it?

No yellows, there is a dark green and a light green. The camera is making it look a little more vibrant(same with the oranges of the autumn side), than it actually is.

Did SM ever make the palm smocks with black print not the Blue/green?

I dont think its black - but they did one in the more standard plane tree sort of colours as well as the turqoise one.

I was hoping for a darker one but mines that turquoise one. It's no big deal as some were made like that :)

It looks good when it's all dusty and worn in :)

Guys, you can't judge colour on all the many PC screens you are using! All will render the colours differently, and even if you have a colour calibrated monitor (which I have, for my work) then you can't assume the colour balance is necessarily correct in the original photo. To me it is rather pink overall, even the background, but that is a property of the original pic in all probability...

Getting accurate colour reproduction is a precise science, one practised by designers and printers all the time, a quick snap put on a forum will never be exact...

I have made a colour adjustment to improve it - see how this looks?

Yes, they did.
The blue/green is a valid variation. I'm not keen myself but its authentic.
