In the traditional liturgy and in the modern liturgy, the Ceremonies of Easter Vigil (held on Holy Saturday) were initially either black or purple for the blessing of the New Fire, and the Pashcal Candle. After that, at the procession of the candle and the singing of the Exsultet, the vestments were changed to white/gold to celebrate the rising of Christ from the Dead.

Why are there different colors for Catholic vestments?

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).

In the Catholic Church, red is worn for the feast days of martyrs (signifying blood), including the Apostles (except John), and also on days focused on Jesus' death on the cross (e.g. Palm Sunday and Good Friday), and when the focus is the Holy Spirit (Pentecost Sunday, confirmation masses) signifying the fire of the Holy Spirit.
