I have heard that as well, no idea why though

 

[Capriole]

its an old wives tale about green being an unlucky colour. Ive heard it before.

Shes also wrong, Ive seen plenty of green summer sheets and I have one too s plenty of people use them. But Im not superstitious at all I guess. Its just a colour....

All my old girl's posh stuff is/was green (sometimes green and navy). She's 35 and has been successful in all sorts of things. It wasn't unlucky for her.

I've never heard of green being an unlucky colour.

I believe it is considered unlucky to wear yellow in western circles, but I've never heard that about the colour green?

I have a green fleece rug, it is actually one of my favourites and I certainly don't consider it unlucky.

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Thank you. Any idea where i can get a green summer sheet? All local shops dont do them and arent able to get any in.

I had mine years ago and cant remember where its from.

 

[Capriole]

My nan used to tell me not to buy a green car as it's unlucky. So an old wives tale I think.

My green car clapped out and died the day before I needed it to move house at the weekend, I'd say thats pretty unlucky

 

[ellis9905]

i have no idea why but my nans always told me green is an unlucky colour- its obviously a old wives tale/much older generation thing

 

[Capriole]

yeah my nan wouldnt have green stuff or anything with an Owl on it in the house. But she was a complete mentalist

I think green cars have the highest accident rate no idea how that relates to rugs though

 

[laura_lor]

Regarding the green cars being unlucky thing, I was told that it was because statistically green cars are involved in the highest percentage of accidents - something to do with being less visible in country lanes/against trees/grass etc. Whether or not it is true, I do not know.

Why it would be unlucky for horsey bits and pieces to be green is beyond me though...

Isn't green also supposed to be unlucky for weddings?

www.cornishsaddlery.com very friendly contact them via phone and talk to Vicky or bev, or bex. All very helpful and will get you anything in any colour

 

[Nollaig Shona]

Dunno about rugs, but there's a superstition that a bride should never wear green as it's offensive to the 'wee folk' - only they are allowed to wear green when they marry

 

[Nailed]

red and green should never be seen, except upon a fool..

Load of rubbish lol
