In the Church, the color purple represents Penance. Therefore, the purple vestments are worn during Lent/Easter, a time where Christ died to forgive us of our sins.
.
In the Catholic Church a "purple" vestment means that you do not know the correct terminology for liturgical colors in current terminology. Currently, purple only refers to Bishop's cassocks and such while violet is the word used for vestments. In the Catholic Church violet vestments are used in Advent, Lent, and for sacraments of confession and at other times for penance.

∙ 13y agoThe vestments in Advent and Lent are violet or purple; during Advent typically the vestments and stoles may be shaded toward the blue
Roman Catholic AnswersIf you see blue vestments being used, it means one of two things:Either you are not in a Catholic Church (Blue is not an approved liturgical color for ANY day or season).
OR you are witnessing a travesty of a priest who is not obedient and thinks he knows better than the Church and his Bishop.
