All the Things You Need to Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day 2016

Saint Patrick’s Day is one of the most broadly celebrated christian holidays. Probably no one knows today why this national day of one small European country became so famous and popular. The fact is – this very day everyone becomes an Irish a bit. Everyone does his best to wear something green (old, new, borrowed – whatever!), get a four-leaf shamrock for decoration or at least drink some beers (pretty often – a lot of beers).

Web Designers celebrate this awesome day their own way. Of course they also drink Guinness bier and wear “Kiss Me I’m Irish” t-shirts. But they also work on designs to make your website look fabulous.

Here I gathered some cool Saint Patrick’s Day 2016 stuff for your website designs, some nice tips to get you noticed on the Web, some funny quotes to get on t-shirt and many other useless things. Enjoy!

Green Color

Everything should be colored green this day. There are so many nuances and hues of the green color so you can sometimes get confused which one to choose. Here’s a list of the most popular greens you can apply to your designs.

Irish green. The official color that is used for Irish flag (its green third) what is stated in the official documents.

Shamrock green stands close to the Irish green but is a bit colder. It’s a color of shamrock leaves.
