Where To Watch
What color hats did these Western characters wear?
Do you remember all these cowboy hat colors?
CBS Television Distribution
While the stereotype of the good guy wearing a white hat and the outlaw wearing a black one holds true in some Westerns, there are plenty of movies and shows that break this unwritten rule. In fact, it sometimes seems hard to see where the idea came from!
Here are ten characters from classic TV Westerns with hats in all kinds of different shades. Can you guess the right color for each cowboy?
-
What color hat did the Lone Ranger wear?
-
What color hat did Gunsmoke's Marshal Dillon wear?
-
What about Doc Adams from Gunsmoke?
-
What color is Yosemite Sam's giant cowboy hat?

When out on a job, Paladin from Have Gun - Will Travel wore what color hat?

As far as hats go, Miss Kitty always put the men to shame! Did you know all these cowboy hat colors?
Got James West's hat wrong...

7/10. Not bad for someone who doesn't get to watch these very often.
Six out of 10 and I watch these shows all the time I suck
9/10. Yosemite Sam tripped me up.
7 out of 10. Most of those were pretty easy once they showed the hats below. Then I could picture the actor in the hat. The ones I got wrong were mostly from shows I don't watch too much, but I can't believe I got Lucas McCain's hat color(or shade) wrong! I watch that all the time.
7/10 , Guessed on one and got it right . MeTv channel 30.2 in Jacksonville Florida will not show Andy Griffith or Green Acres and will not reply to emails as to why not !!!! My wife and I just returned from a out of state vacation and got to watch Andy Griffith and Green Acres every night we where on our trip . Sure was nice !!!!!
If your local metv affiliate is associated with another local station--they are probably responsible. I do not get Hogan's heroes because the local nbc affiliate (a sister station to our metv station) chooses to broadcast news for a 1/2 hr and then a local roadshow for a 1/2.
5/10.....Dang....Couple of shades too bright or darker for some....Should have paid attention to the hats instead of the actual episode...Would have ACED this thing!....LOL!
5/10. Ugh. Only been watching westerns longer than I can admit.

These quizzes that want you to pay attention to every little detail I like watching the shows I don’t pay attention to what the guys are wearing.
