Cardinals or bishops do not wear a yarmulke, they wear a zucchetto, which is similar head cover. The color distinguishes the rank: black (rarely worn) is for priests, violet for bishops, red for cardinals and white for the pope. Some say it originated during the Middle Ages when churches had no heat. Many of the clergy worn a tonsure - the top of their head was shaven. The zucchetto help keep their head warm in the winter.
