GREEN, VIOLET, AND BLACK

Searching out the meanings of these colors took a little more effort.

Green is the color that represents joy, hope, and the bright promises of youth. According to the source I studied this symbolism is used in the Catholic Church.

Violet is normally used around Easter and Lent; it shows the suffering and purifying effects that come as a result of chastening. Again, this symbolism comes from wihtin the Catholic Church.

Black seems to be a pretty obvious color since in most cases today we use black to refer to death. Black does indeed represent death but it can mean sorrow, and mourning. Darkness fell over the earth just before Christ died and his time in the tomb was for 3 days. Dark=black. As far as this color being mentioned in church, it is seldom used except for Easter.
