Green is associated with Saint Patrick’s Day these days because it is the color of spring in Ireland, and of the shamrock.

However, historically green was NOT the color most often associated with St. Patrick’s Day. In fact, Green was actually considered unlucky. Blue was the color most people thought of when they considered St. Patrick. As it turns out, blue was considered symbolic of Ireland for many centuries and the Irish Presidential Standard is still blue to this day.
