Irish Catholics wear green, and Irish Protestants wear orange. This is because of the first Protest King William of Orange. St. Patrick was neither Catholic nor Protestant, he was Christian, as he was alive long before the Protestant Revolution.
Answer:
I myself do not wear green nor orange on Saint Patrick's Day because either colour worn on that day would show an allegiance to one side or the other of this stupid rivalry between the Catholics (green) and the Protestants (orange). These two camps have been murdering each other (and innocent bystanders) for hundreds of years. It is totally sick.
If you think I am wrong, try wearing the wrong colour at one side or another's parade or football game in Britain and see what a "Christian" does to you. It's no different or better than the Crips verses the Bloods, or the Hell's Angels verses the Banditos. It's just as stupid but has been going on for much longer. And no amount of justifying the violence for one side or the other makes it right.
Wearing green or orange on that day would be like being in Africa and wearing something that identified oneself with either the Hutu or Tutsi tribes in Africa which have been hacking each other to death on and off for decades. Who would want to identify with either side?
You could wear their colours, but when you know what has been associated with the whole thing, why would you want to?

Do you wear yellow on St. Patrick's Day?
You may wear any color you wish on St. Patrick's but the customary color would be green. There are still some people who believe that to wear yellow or orange (particularity the latter) on St. Patrick's Day is an insult to all Irish people, but that view is dying out with each succeeding generation. It had to do with William of Orange being though of as a villain by all Irish people.
