Is it appropriate to say that I like someone's hijab?

I met a girl in the elevator and she had a really pretty hijab so I told her so, but is that inappropriate? I've done things like this before, I once told someone that I liked his tikka (tilika/tilak) but I don't know enough about Middle Eastern culture to say if my actions were offensive or not

    If you're a female it's fine, but choose your words carefully.   Keep it factual.   "I love the print fabric of your hijab".   I would avoid words like "pretty" or "handsome" or "cute" or "attractive". 

    If you're a stranger male, you really shouldn't comment on her appearance.

    If you're female that's probably okay. If you're male, absolute no no.

    No different than "I like your MAGA hat".

    No, it's extremely offensive and racist.
