Bismark palm Help!

Hello. My Bismarck palm has new spears and growth but many fronds look droopy and not "silver" or kind of losing the hue towards the front of fronds. I'm in Southwest Florida and it's been over a year since it was battered by Hurricane Ian.

I am looking for any insight or advice to what may be wrong (if anything) as it just seems more lower fronds are losing color and looking sad.

This palm looks completely healthy and normal. Old fronds turn brown and die off. You have nothing to worry about.

James is 100% right. The leaves are just old and should be cut off.

Very nice Bizzie.

Just a general remark about blue palms -  This is often a byproduct of some waxy (ceriferous) coating. This can be washed off by excessive rains. Think Chamaerops or Brahea. I know SW Florida is in a drought, but last two weeks have seen rain.
