As a former Ranger, there was a lot of fury once the regular Army adopted the black beret. However, earning the tan beret today is a recognition or pride and espirit de corps. With regards to Joes, anything flies. Stalker is a Ranger with a green beret. Beachhead is a Ranger with a red beret, a designation of an airborne unit. So really, whatever floats your boat in your personal Joeverse. Rangers Lead the Way!

This is a great question and a great thought provoking topic. Some Joes do have berets such as Beachhead flint etc. I feel these are from their previous regiments rather than the Joes.
In the film Hawk (Dennis Quad) wears black but I agree that is a standard military unit one. Green Berets are British Commandos or US Special Forces so may be appropriate but being British and having more of an Action Force International Heroes influence, I have always viewed them as a branch of the United Nations so with that in mind I would say UN Blue Berets is appropriate. |

Black, tan, maroon, green, and blue are all taken. I'd go with a light green, a dark brown, or a dark gold/bronze color.

In American parlance that's a "garrison cap"
I always struggle with whether or not the Joes should even have a standard beret color, particularly because of the point mentioned that not all Joes come from beret wearing branches. To be honest, I would rather see them just get it right in regards to whatever service history matches the characters, but I think fans will always prefer carrying forward old mistakes for the sake of nostalgia to being accurate.

If I were giving Joe one standard beret, I'd go navy blue. It's not really in use by anyone, right?

Thought about this earlier this year, to no avail.

Not in the US, but it is used by the Royal Australian Navy, Belgian Navy, Finnish Navy, German Air Force and Marine Infantry, Indonesian Navy, a bunch of military divisions within the Indian armed forces and federal police, the Italian Navy's San Marco Brigade, Kazakhstan's Navy, the Royal Netherlands Navy and Marine Corps, and a few others.
