Mainly to see whether blue or green was used before the 19th century.

 * Saint Patrick’s Window in Saint Edan’s Cathedral, Ferns "The popular images of Saint Patrick at that time in stained-glass windows, road-side statues and popular postcards show him standing on a bed of shamrocks decked in the robes and mitre of a truly Tridentine bishop. Of course, I would point out that green is the wrong liturgical colour both for Lent and for a saint’s day. But why was he never seen in those popular portrayals in convocation robes or in a simple alb and stole? Because the message was clear: Celtic Christianity was for Roman Catholics only, and at that for a particular type of Catholicism."
 * Saint Patrick with mitre, crozier, Bible and shamrock Stone carving on the side of the chapel in Saint Patrick’s College, Maynooth
 * Patrick and the Fire of Pentecost at Tara stained glass window in Saint Patrick’s Church, Tara. "the correct liturgical colour for his day is white, not green. ... for over 1,000 years Saint Patrick’s hue was blue. Blue is still the official colour of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, the official colour of the President and the official colour of the National Stud. Before partition, the strip of the Irish football team, representing the whole island, was Saint Patrick’s Blue."
