yellow hat

Bright lemon cap

Yellow hat refers to optimistic or constructive thinking, from Edward de Bono's "Six Thinking Hats" framework for structured discussion.

Wearing the yellow hat means focusing on benefits, possibilities, and positive outcomes: Let's put on our yellow hats and look at what could go right.

The method assigns different colored hats to different modes of thought—yellow for optimism, black for caution, and so on.
