I’m a little surprised it wasn’t red since red-green colorblindness is the most common. Purple is a great color to wear for the season of Lent. And I believe St. Patrick himself wore blue a lot.
It’s the green chemicals you have to watch out for. Like the stuff that turns beer green. The Chicago River is already green, but mostly by accident and not just because of the celebration.
Bring up google to see the St Patty’s GOOGLE sign and tap on it.
See the green confetti come down and down further lots of St Patty Day questions answered, like:
Why do we wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day?
Leprechauns are actually one reason you’re supposed to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day—or risk getting pinched! The tradition is tied to folklore that says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, which like to pinch anyone they can see.
Why is BLUE associated with St. Patrick?
The colour blue’s association with Saint Patrick dates from the 1780s, when it was adopted as the colour of the Anglo-Irish Order of St Patrick. The term refers to a sky blue used by the Order of St Patrick, often confused in Ireland with a darker, rich blue.
Traditionally, the green represents the Catholics of Ireland, the orange represents the Protestant population and the white in the middle symbolizes the peace between the two religions. The religious symbolism doesn’t stop there.
