They wore black robes.
Answer: No priest wore black robes. The first answer confuses priests with monks, who were not generally priests. The main garment of all secular clerics (churchmen) was the alb, a long linen garment which was made as white as possible. Over this priests wore a stola or stole, which was essentially a long linen scarf with elaborate embroidery.
Depending on the service due to be given, a priest would either wear a silk chasuble over these, or a cope. The chasuble was sleeveless and shaped like a poncho, while the cope was an elaborately-decorated cloak held together with a wide strap across the chest.
The white alb symbolised purity, the stole was essentially to keep the priest's neck warm and free from drafts, while the colour of the chasuble depended on the particular time in the Church calendar. A black cope would be worn to preside at a funeral.
A bishop wore exactly the same robes as a priest, but with additions: a mitre, a ring, a dalmatic and in his hand a crozier.
