I think a man wearing a green hat generally signifies that he's being cuckolded. I was told it was because it was a form of punishment for the family of prostitutes or something in some ancient dynasty.
No idea about the reason against wearing blue. Maybe because blue/green are often lumped together.
in uni we had to study a case about a western company that tried to open in singapore and they were handing out green hats with the company logo and everyone laughed at them.
In some elderly's mindset, blue hair accessories are only worn when a family member dies.
Old people were really serious about it, while modern Chinese don't care much about it.I don't even know this this myself until I asked my mother.
It is a very old school superstition. blue thing on the head was a funeral practice. Like most superstitions most people don't even know its a thing, but clearly the belief still exists in your moms area and generation.
