I possess 8 shirts and 8 hats, available in the colors tan, black, blue, gray, white, yellow, red, and green. I own 4 pairs of pants in the colors tan, black, blue, and gray. I refuse to wear an outfit where the shirt and the pants are the same color, although the hat can match the color of either the shirt or pants. How many choices for outfits, consisting of one shirt, one hat, and one pair of pants, do I have?
