More information...
• Remembering the function of each hat is easy• Remember color and association• Remember these 3 pairs
white & red (neutral vs. emotion)black & yellow (negative vs. positive)green & blue ( creativity vs. organization)
• In practice the hats are ALWAYS referred to by their color NEVER by their function.
• That is to achieve a more honest/ neutral answer with no embarrassment

More information from deBono...
• I could have chosen Greek and it would have been fancier but it would be difficult to remember the hats’ names
• I want thinkers to visualize and to imagine the hats as actual hats, for that color is important
