It represents the color of Shamrocks in what is poetically called the "Emerald Isle" for its emerald-colored vegetation.
This green is legally defined as Pantone 347, a proprietary color system which does not have a direct equivalent in sRGB.
It is customary in both Ireland and the United States to wear this shade of green, or any shade of green that one prefers, on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, even if one is not of Irish descent.
