Is it 

Red and Green must never be seen

or is it

Blue and Green must never be seen ? 

Which is the correct saying and why please ?

It's blue and green, they are supposed not to match, but you get blue sky (sometimes) and green grass. Red and green go together well I think.

Its "blue and green should never be seen, except with a colour in between". 

Though I think the sky and grass look lovely together, as already stated. 

   blue and green should never be seen ,, i believe it was referring to clothing ,,

Think it's the first one - if you can see the port and starboard lights on a vessel it's probably heading straight for you!

Well that was a mixed bunch of answers everyone,   but thank you.

A few friends of mine were having a debate on what colours you should never wear together.

I always wear  blues and  greens together and had never thought about it before and at our son and daughter in laws wedding both Mother of the Bride and myself Mother of the Groom wore wedding outfit/dresses with various shades of blue and green in them (so thinking the designers couldn't have thought it unlucky to make our dresses in those colours.)

What Hacksaw Bob and Jelboy53 says sounds a top answer as my own thoughts before were to do with Red and Green trafic lights, so not too far out.  

Maybe there always has been the two sayings running side by side or maybe they've been muddled together over the years, but think I'll take in what Tentz said  - " If you don't know it doesn't matter"   and just wear any colours together. (apart from red and green that is )
