Which raises the question: how many colors of the inverted hat tile would you need? I don’t believe the inverted hats ever need to touch one another…

I suspect, given the 1:1 correspondence to a hex grid (where some of the hexagons map to an inverted/non inverted pair of hats) that they describe in the original paper that it would be possible to tile with just three colors of noninverted hat, and one color of inverted hat.
