What color togas did Roman emperors wear?
The Romans were well aware of various fabric dyes. But, they DID NOT dye their togas. The toga was an off white woolen garment. Children, senators and the emperor could have a purple stripe along the edges, but that was all. The only variation of the toga's color was when a man was running for public office. He would then lighten and whiten his toga with powdered chalk as a symbol of his purity of intentions.
What did patricians wear in Rome?
If they were officers of state the patricians wore the toga praetexta. If they were former officers of state they wore it at festivals, in ceremonial occasion and upon burial. This was a toga made of undyed wool (and therefore off-white) with broad purple stripe on its border. Otherwise they wore Toga virilis or toga alba (white) or toga pura (pure) an off-white toga. This was a toga worn by all adult male Roman citizens. However, only the rich could afford to have one. Roman senators wore the tunica Laticlavia, an off-white tunic with broad purple stripes.

What did emperor Nero wear?
Nero wore what Roman emperors wore. Emperors wore toga trabea or toga purpurea, a purple toga which only emperors were allowed to wear, on ceremonial occasions. Emperors also wore the toga picta, which also was purple, but, unlike all other togas, was also richly embroidered and decorated with gold. They wore them on special occasion. Officers of state who financed games could also wear this toga on the opening of the game and so did military commanders during a celebration of a triumph. Given the expense of the above mentioned togas, ordinarily, emperors wore the Toga preatexta, a white toga with a broad purple border which was worn by the officers of state. What distinguished the emperor was that his toga was very expensive, made of finer cloth and worn more elaborately and that he wore a laurel wreath.
