March 17, 2009 question

Here are the seven countries with claims on Antarctic territories:

United Kingdom
New Zealand
France
Norway
Australia
Chile
Argentina

The most anybody got was . . . hold on, let me check . . . five, by Karen H (the H stands for How You Like Me Now?). That's quite impressive. I'd also like to point out that the only country above that no one guessed was Argentina. Don't cry for them.

Instead, let's move on to St. Patrick's day. Here's today's question:

According to Irish folklore, what color was considered unlucky due to the belief that the Good People (faeries) would abduct people adorned in the unfortunate hue?
