Roman Catholic AnswerPurple is the color of penance or sorrow, and is used during the pentiential seasons (Lent and Advent) except on saints' days and on the two Sundays when Rose may be substituted.

In the Catholic Church violet vestments are used in Advent, Lent, and for sacraments of confession and at other times for penance.
