Blue St. Patrick's Day

The actual color of St. Patrick is blue:

"...the use of green on St. Patrick's Day began during the 1798 Irish Rebellion, when the clover became a symbol of nationalism and the "wearing of the green" on lapels became regular practice."

Below is the badge of the order of St. Patrick... notice it is blue.
