White is worn on feast days and holy days as a sign of rejoicing; also worn for the six weeks following Easter.

Catholic AnswerThe white robe is called an alb and is the first of the vestments put on. It is worn at all seasons and under nearly all vestments. I think you are referring to the Chausable with is the large, usually decorative, poncho type vestment which is the last one put on. That color changes with the season. It is white for Christmas and Easter, but Gold may be substituted on particularly festive occasions.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

White.

The liturgical color for all feasts of the Trinity, Our Lord (except his Cross and Passion), the Blessed Virgin, angels, all saints except martyrs, and on Sundays during Easter Season; also in the celebration of the sacraments that do not imply penance or the remission of sins. White is a symbol of joy, purity, innocence, holiness, and glory. Pope St. Pius V (reigned 1566-72) prescribed that the ordinary papal attire be white.
