Anything you spray outside that kills gnats is going to kill a lot more than gnats. Is that worth it given their relatively short season? IMO, no, but if that's what you need to do, any general insecticide will work to varying degrees.

I know a garden-person who said she rubs a light coating of plain mineral oil on the whole outside and under the brim of a hard hat. The full brim style works best. The gnats bump into the oil and stick there. Not exactly canoeing fashion, but it works in a yard/garden setting. She never mentioned color preference.
I've sprayed pyrethrin on my Tilley hat (especially under the brim) with good results. Gnats and mosquitoes stay a few inches away.
