Three purple candles.
There are four candles on the outside of the Advent wreath. There is one pink candle and three purple candles.
The candles on the Advent wreath represent the coming of the light of Christ. The three purple candles represent hope, love, and peace.
Four candles, three purple, one pink.
The Tradition color is red but you can use white.
Actually, there are three violet candles on an Advent wreath, not purple. The violet candles stand for the violet called for in the liturgy for those Sundays, the third Sunday of Advent calls for Rose vestments, so the candle for that week is rose.

There is no settled tradition regarding the Advent Wreath. Roman Catholics prefer 3 purple and 1 rose (for the Joyful third Sunday). Many protestants have begun to use blue candles, blue being the color of hope. Perhaps the key factor for choosing colors is what do you want the Advent Wreath to symbolize- hope, preparation, penitence?

The first purple candle means: waitingThe second purple candle means: hopeThe third purple candle means: joyThe pink candle means: peace.Catholic AnswerThe candles, and the Advent wreath itself, are NOT part of the liturgy officially, and are a common folk custom from northern Europe. The four candles were put on the wreath to signify the four Sundays of Advent. Three violet candles and one rose candle - for the color of the four Advent Sundays (purple and pink are NOT liturgical colors in the Catholic Church). The candles themselves have no meaning outside of what some have given them, they are not officially part of the church's liturgy and thus have no official meaning. Some people put a white candle in the middle to stand for Christmas, but this is wildly inappropriate as, thought not official, it is an ADVENT wreath, and Advent ends on the afternoon of Christmas eve.
The purple candles represents sorro. The pink one represents joy and happieness. The white candle represents jesus born on Xmas Day
