To the Kilted Clergy of the group

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Those would be liturgical colors of the church year...sarum blue for Advent, purple for Lent, Green for Ordinary time, etc.

Episcopalians, Lutherans, Presbyterians & other Reformed denominations and of course Roman Catholic clergy use vestments that coordinate with the seasons of the church year.

Blue for Advent is a modern innovation that may have started with Protestant groups, I don't know. But purple is the traditional color for Advent and Lent, as both are penitential seasons (and is also traditional for funerals). White for the Christmas and Easter Seasons, as well as Feast of Our Lord, The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Angels, Saints who were not matryrs, and All Saints. Red for Pentecost, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, feasts of the Apostels and Martyr's feasts. Rose for Laetare and Gaudete Sundays. Green for Ordinary Time. And black is also a possible liturgical color for All Souls and Funerals (though white is a more common choice for those occasions these days).

Regardless, for Catholics, Orthodox, and some of the more liturgically minded Protestant groups, your vestments for the liturgy are prescribed, so this discussion is pretty much a moot point. I doubt the Universal Life Church has a dress code, so wear what you think the most appropriate.
