Every register of green — from the bright emerald of the shamrock to the deep forest of ancient woodland — and a touch of gold.
St. Patrick's Day is a study in a single hue across its full range. The green of Ireland is not one green but many: the vivid, almost impossible green of the landscape after Atlantic rain, the deeper green of fern and ivy in old woodland, the grey-green of lichen on stone, the bright emerald of the shamrock in the hand. Gold enters as the colour of Celtic metalwork, of the Tara brooch, of the mythological pot at the rainbow's end. To make a palette of green is to discover how many different things green can mean — and Ireland has explored most of them.
