There are traditional colors worn during different times of the liturgical year. Not all traditions follow this pattern, but it is quite common. There is some variation, but generally they are as follows:
 |
Christmas: White |
|
Epiphany: White |
|
Lent: Purple |
|
Easter: White |
|
Pentecost: Red |
|
Ordinary Time: Green |
|
Advent: Purple |
Blue is generally considered an appropriate alternative to purple during Lent and Advent. Red is traditionally worn for ordinations.
Most of my stoles are some variation of these major liturgical colors. Some are not as I am not entirely traditional nor are all of my customers.
