Greeting! I'm in progress painting Gen. Mararthur for now, I've just done the face and cap. I'm wondering that which color that I should use to paint cap correctly because there are 2 colors of the eagle and details on the cap, they are black and yellow! Which is corect? and which is the color of cap cloth??? Thank you

The eagle and shield would have been done in embroidered metallic gold thread, as well as the "scrambled eggs" (oak leaves) depicted on the visor.

That depends on the image; this image suggests otherwise, and this picture of Macarthur's hat, pipe, and sunglasses look to either be heavily tarnished or done in brown to make it less visible in the field.

Just heavily tarnished. Four and Five star generals would not have been that close to the enemy to need a "field" version of this cap, which is in fact the cap worn with the dress "class A or B" or tropical garrison uniform.

Deliberately tarnished? Could be or deliberate neglect-- It was not uncommon during the pre-war years for senior commanders (especially pilots) to affect that "50 mission crush" look for the class A cap, and make it look as used as possible to show they'd been around awhile. While Generalissimo of the Philippine Army prior to 1941, MacArthur designed their uniforms and his own. It was one of Eisenhower's sticking points when he worked for MacArthur in the Philippines that MacArthur seemed more concerned with how the troops looked than how they fought. And he mentioned in his letters that MacArthur held Sunday Morning "parades" in Manila. By 1940, Eisenhower was very displeased with MacArthur and sought assignment stateside, ending up at Fort Lewis WA.
