Since the production of DuckTales, Huey, Dewey and Louie can usually be told apart by the color of their hats and/or clothing: Huey dresses in red, Dewey in blue, and Louie in green. Before this, the colors were not applied to the individual characters consistently: each character looked the same until colored, and often which colors belonged to which duck were decided by the colorist.
