My Irish mother-in-law has entirely forgotten about the fairies and the 1798 rebellion. For her green is unlucky simply because it is. It's one of those things woven into the fabric of existence- mysterious and unquestionable- like the laws of gravity.
So that's why Janet wears her green kirtle- I like it!
