Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no one color for the Triduum: the Holy Thursday Mass is celebrated in white, the Good Friday liturgy is celebrated in Red vestments, and the Holy Saturday Offices are celebrated in Violet. The Easter Vigil, celebrated on Holy Saturday evening is celebrated in White and marks the end of the Triduum.

Catholic AnswerWhite is the liturgical color for all feasts of the Trinity, of Our Lord (except for his Cross and Passion), for the Blessed Virgin Mary, for angels, and for all saints excluding martyrs, and all Sundays during Easter season, also all celebrations of the sacraments that do not imply penance or the remission of sins. White is symbol of joy, purity, innocence, holiness, and glory. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

.

The Mass on Holy Thursday is White as well, there is no Mass permitted on Good Friday, the vestments worn by the priest for that liturgy are red, there is no Mass permitted on Holy Saturday before the Easter Vigil begins.

What are the colors of paschal triduum?

In the contemporary Western Church, the liturgical color of the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday evening would be white (and, optionally, gold). White/Gold would also be the proper color if the Chrism Mass were offered earlier in the day.The offices (lauds, matins, midday prayers) during the day of Holy Thursday (before the evening Mass) would be violet as during Lent. I don't know what the color would be for night prayer/compline after the evening Mass... I have used violet or white (without further instruction or scruple from the official texts) to close the evening's public adoration with night prayer.For any services held before the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Thursday evening, violet would be worn, as it is still Lent; except for the Chrism Mass in the morning, the color for the White. The vestments for the celebrant at the Mass of the Lord's Supper in the Evening are white. According to the new calendar, since the Second Vatican Council, Lent is over and the Sacred Triduum has begun.
