The only approved colors for liturgical vestments are: white (or gold), green, violet, red, rose, and black. Many priests would love to use blue for the Blessed Virgin, but her color as a saint would be white. Rose is only used (optionally) for the third Sunday of Advent and the fourth Sunday of Lent. Black is optional for Masses for the dead, funerals, etc. Red is for saints who were martyred and some feasts of the Holy Spirit, and Our Blessed Lord (having to do with His Passion).
