Believe it or not, the green of St. Patrick’s Day wasn’t always green, it was a few shades different. The original color that was associated with St. Patrick’s Day was blue. The man that is now known as St. Patrick wore blue and that is all it took to make blue the color of the holiday. But that changed over time. It is believed that in the 18th or 19th century is when we changed the color from blue to green. It makes sense since there is green on the Irish flag that represents catholicism and it is a catholic holiday, Ireland is also known as “The Emerald Isle”. Green makes more sense in general so make sure you use green when you paint your nails with fun St Patricks Day nail designs.
