1. White Hat: When you think of white, think of neutral. Dr. De Bono has categorized information as a neutral subject.
2. Red Hat: When you think of red, think of fire and passion. Wearing this hat means that people will show their emotions on a subject, their gut feelings.
3. Black Hat: When you think of black, think of negative, or caution. The black hat is for critical judgment. It points out what cannot be done.
4. Yellow Hat: When you think of yellow, think of the sun and sunny, positive thoughts. The yellow hat role is for discussing only the positive view of problems and solution possibilities.
5. Green Hat: When you think of green, think of plants and growth. The green hat is for new ideas, for creativity, for new alternative solutions.
6. Blue Hat: When you think of blue, think of the sky and an overview. The blue hat is the hardest one to understand. It deals with controlling the thinking process. The blue hat is often “given” to one person, who controls what hat will be “worn”, hence controlling the type of thinking being used.
