Yes, in Presbyterian congregations that follow the Liturgical Calendar, purple is used for paraments, stoles, banners and hangings during Lent.
In the Catholic Church, the color purple is often associated with penance, preparation, and mourning. It is commonly used during the seasons of Lent and Advent, as well as during funerals and other solemn occasions. Purple symbolizes a time of reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal in the Catholic faith.
Lent is observed in the Catholic Church with the color purple, symbolizing penance, preparation, and reflection.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has always accepted people of color into it's membership. It did not allow black men of African descent to be ordained to the priesthood for a period between the 1840's and 1970's. The church has never given an official reason. I cannot speak for the Presbyterian church.
I believe that the liturgical color is different... a shade of purple.
Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent and during Lent, the church uses purple
Purple is for Lent, but that doesn't mean it can't be part of some display. It should probably not be the major color.
Lent is associated with the color purple because it symbolizes penance, humility, and preparation. Purple is traditionally used in the church to represent repentance and mourning, reflecting the solemn and introspective nature of the Lenten season.

The liturgical color of the AMEZ (African Methodist Episcopal Zion) Church is primarily purple, which signifies royalty, penitence, and the anticipation of Easter. During Advent and Lent, purple represents a time of reflection and preparation. Other colors used include white for celebrations like Christmas and Easter, signifying purity and joy, and green for ordinary time, symbolizing growth and life. Each color plays a significant role in the church's worship and liturgical calendar.
a little bit purple
Purple represents the colour of death and mourning. During Lent, a Church is usually decorated with purple cloths, and the priest usually wears purple vestments, to show that Lent is a period of mourning for the death of Christ on the Cross. Then, after Lent, the colours change to red and white to celebrate the glorious Resurrection.
