The Elders & Fyffes funnel is described as pale creamy buff and confirmed in a black-and-white photograph of Changuinola. The blue flag carries a white diamond with E & F: Larousse gives blue, sans-serif characters with a smaller ampersand, while Sampson shows black letters and a slightly larger diamond. Diamond size and lettering vary across sources.

The 1969 livery used the United Fruit funnel and a blue swallowtailed burgee with a yellow triangle based on the hoist. Fyffes appears in white on a navy-blue oval. Brown 1978 and 1982 extend the yellow along the top and bottom, unlike Loughran’s true triangle, which the museum specimen confirms. Brown 1982 still labels it Elders & Fyffes, which Rosanoski regards as erroneous. The museum dates its specimen to 1955–1967, in tension with the stated 1969 adoption.

The livery is documented on Jarikaba, port side, in a photograph tentatively dated June 2001. Mitchell describes the funnel as darkish buff.

The funnel appears on Star Quality, port side on 24 August 2013, and on Star Best, starboard without a funnel top on 5 August 2007.
