After giving myself the hat in-game, this issue seems to only happen with r15.

Hello, a lot of code has changed and we haven’t heard about this issue for a while. Is this still an issue?

It seems the source asset has mostly vertex colors that are black 0, 0, 0. The only parts that have a color are the text on the back and the smiley face

You can technically work around this by attaching a surface appearance, but that seems heavy handed, given that there is no normal map nor material roughness, etc.

SurfaceAppearance’s aren’t allowed in static items like hats, back accessories, sholder accessories AFAIK if you want to upload it to the marketplace

Ah sorry I didn’t know that, I’m just a rendering engineer and hooked it up in a SurfaceAppearance and that worked. Then the only fix will be to not have vertex color (0, 0, 0) everywhere.
