St. Patrick’s BLUE is a name applied to several shades of blue considered as symbolic of Ireland.

Blue not green is the color originally associated with St Patrick. “St Patrick’s Blue” is used on Ireland’s Presidential Standard or flag, while the Irish Guards sport a plume of St Patrick’s blue in their bearskins.

Blue…and I believe it’s a light shade of blue, not a dark one.

Blue –
The color of St Patrick is Blue. Green is Ireland’s national color. Green has been gradually accepted over time as the color of St. Patrick’s day for numerous reasons. Most famously, the 3 leaf clovers St. Patrick used to teach Christianity, less known (but set the standard) the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Irish soldiers wanted to get the attention of the government and wore bright green uniforms. Last but not least, when the color fades, it tends to turn into a shade of green. Green is easily accepted for how green the land is, but Blue is the true color of St. Patrick.

“St Patrick’s Blue” is used on Ireland’s Presidential Standard or flag, while the Irish Guards sport a plume of St Patrick’s blue in their bearskins. The emphasis on green is thought to be linked to “wearing the Green”, a symbol from the 18th century on, of sympathy with Irish independence.

St. Patrick’s blue is a name applied to several shades of blue considered as symbolic of Ireland. In British usage, it refers to various sky blue shades associated with the Order of St. Patrick.[1] In modern usage in the Republic of Ireland, it may be a darker shade.[1] While green is now the usual national colour of Ireland, “St. Patrick’s blue” is still found in some symbols.[2]
