Apologies for the delay, I had to get back to the office so I could take a photo of the offending hat and display from the SD1.
This demonstrates the problem first image is the hat as it appears in the LCD (note almost looks like a washed out navy colour)
the second shows the hat, the SD1 and the LCD in the one shot
both photos taken with the cruddy camera of an iPhone5 ..... except the iphone 5 seems to render the colours correctly !?!!!

Thanks for the excellent pictures, those help a ton as I did not fully understand what the issue was...

That is a really strange issue.  I would have said it was noise, but you aren't seeing any noise in the JPG when loaded into the computer.  It's not a color issue as it doesn't seem to affect the whole cap.  Similarly, I don't see how it could be a lens issue either.

Is there any way you could post the raw X3F somewhere?  I would love to see the embedded JPG in the RAW file as I'll bet the color issue would show up there... so it could be an issue with the internal JPG conversion in camera for that particular subject where SPP would fix noise or has some flaw that the camera could not in JPG conversion (all previews are based off the JPG file).

I will also try to find a similarly colored green textured cloth and see if I can replicate using the SD-1.

Have you even seen this issue with any other subject or material?
