Irish green

Dublin's signature color

Irish green is a vivid, medium green associated with Ireland—the color of shamrocks, St.

Patrick's Day decorations, and the Irish flag's green stripe.

It sits between kelly green and emerald, evoking Irish national identity and the country's lush landscape: The parade floats were decked out in Irish green.
