The color-coded Threat Level system may or may not have been a good idea to begin with, but as applied it quickly became meaningless. Five levels, from green (low risk of terrorist attack) to red (severe risk) and it was ALWAYS at orange (high risk)? What conditions would be needed to lower it to yellow (significant risk), let alone blue (general risk)?
It became apparent as time went on that the purpose was never actually to provide information, it was just to keep people in a state of constant fear…

On St. Patrick’s Day, drink Guinness. I suppose it’s POSSIBLE to dye it green(ish), but the effect would be slight enough not to make it worth the effort.
For that matter, drink Guinness on Halloween, Cinco de Mayo, Valentine’s Day, and the Fourth of July as well. “It’s good for you!”
