The white vestment worn by the priest is called an alb ( from the latin "albus", meaning "white"). It also worn by deacons, servers, and occasionally Eucharistic ministers. A white vestment placed over the alb at Mass is called a chasuble for priests and dalmatic for daecons. That can be red, green, violet, or white. White is worn during certain liturgical seasons and holy days, but the alb is always white, sometimes "off" white or ivory.
