Answer 2

Generally purple/violet, but some priests will wear a different colour on Good Friday.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, and violet vestments and altar hangings are used until the end of Lent. Lent ends with the Sacred Triduum which begins with the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday, at which white vestments are worn. On Good Friday, which is NOT part of Lent, the priests use red vestments.
