My nasty obscure/british spelling habit strikes again. Still... "Smokey"
is spelled at least semi-ok :-) Most of the OED text citations for
smokey (even post 1950s) in the context of Smokey as a colour (the
context in which it is used for the theme) use the spelling "smokey". A
google search for Smokey vs. Smoky results in 500,000 vs. 700,000 hits
(though how many of these refer to the forest loving fire hating tree
hugging bear, I know not). Not sure changing it is really worthwhile
given that...
