If you're looking for the right shade of green for your St. Patrick's Day design, look no further than the green in the Irish flag and its close Irish relatives.
Why We Wear Green on St. Patrick's Day and Other Irish Traditions
The color green is closely associated with Ireland, the Irish, and St. Patrick’s Day, no matter where people celebrate it. Green is also the color of nature. Originally, blue was the color for St. Patrick, but now it’s all about green. You can’t go wrong with these four specific shades of green combined with the orange of the flag and the gold of the leprechauns for your Irish designs.
These shades of green make a great starting point for your shamrocks, Irish-themed web pages, St. Patrick's Day cards, and decorations. Plus, they're a great color to match the color you wear to avoid getting pinched on March 17th.
Irish green, or Irish flag green, is a shade of spring green. Sometimes called shamrock green, it is slightly greener with less blue tones than the color called shamrock green. It is the green of the Irish flag.
