The color of St Patrick is Blue. Green is Ireland's national color. Green has been gradually accepted over time as the color of St. Patrick's day for numerous reasons. Most famously, the 3 leaf clovers St. Patrick used to teach Christianity, less known (but set the standard) the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Irish soldiers wanted to get the attention of the government and wore bright green uniforms. Last but not least, when the color fades, it tends to turn into a shade of green. Green is easily accepted for how green the land is, but Blue is the true color of St. Patrick.

FurtherThe official standard of the President of Ireland is the golden Cláirseach (Irish Harp) on a field of St. Patrick's blue.

The Cross of St Patrick is a red saltire (diagonal cross) on a white field (background). It is this cross which represents Northern Ireland in the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - the Union flag (commonly known as the Union Jack).
