What does the color of the Jewish hat mean?

The term "Jewish hat" is nebulous.If you are referring to skullcap, called yarmulke in Yiddish and kippah in Hebrew, its color in Reform or Conservative Judaism is representative of the personal feelings of the wearer just like the person's choice of t-shirt or pants. In Orthodox Judaism, only black skullcaps are worn, as a sign of respect and uniformity before God.If you are referring to top-hats or boyar-hats, the shape and color of the hat is indicative of the congregation or tradition of the wearer. Only Orthodox Jews wear such hats and always wear a skullcap underneath.Answer:Black is seen as a color of modesty and humility.

Are hats disrespectful?

Hats on , hats off. If you are Jewish, men should be wearing a yarmulke in Synagogue[ or all the time if thy are Orthodox ], if you are Catholic , it's hats off in church for men. Catholic women used to have to wear some sort of headcovering in church, but not any more.I actually had a nun pin a kleenex on my head with a bobby pin one day. Things change . Hats off inside are generally considered courteous. Of course , yarmulkes are always acepptable anywhere for Jewish men.
