Hamish,you have a sharp eye indeed.I was wearing the strap high when the pic was taken simply because I didn't have time to place it properly.My niece saw me putting it on and was in a hurry to take the pic.The hose are actually oatmeal in color.I think the white background threw the color off.As for the color co-ordination,I have you to thank for all you've posted on the subject.
