Some churches use black at Masses for the dead, but more commonly white or purple is used. For historical reasons much of the worldwide Anglican Communion takes a noticeable lead from the practice of the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a>. Since the 1980 <a href="/wiki/Alternative_Service_Book" title="Alternative Service Book">Alternative Service Book</a>, liturgical colours have been recommended for seasons, with more detailed advice offered as part of the <a href="/wiki/Common_Worship" title="Common Worship">Common Worship</a> series of liturgies, including colours for all Sundays and festivals printed in the 'core volume' next to collects. </p><p>The Church's published Lectionary now makes detailed suggestions for liturgical colour throughout the year, which corresponds almost exactly with the above table of Roman Rite (post-1969 usage) usage with five minor exceptions, and one more significant one: </p> <dl><dd><ul><li>there is no reference in Anglican usage to Masses of deceased popes and cardinals;</li> <li>no liturgical colour at all is suggested for <a href="/wiki/Holy_Saturday" title="Holy Saturday">Holy Saturday</a> (the words "hangings removed" are printed);</li> <li>the recommendation of red for confirmation rites is extended also to ordination rites;</li> <li>Lenten Array (unbleached linen) continues to be listed as an alternative option to purple during Lent;</li> <li>the option exists for using red instead of green during the "Kingdom Season", the four last Sundays of the liturgical year, culminating in <a href="/wiki/Christ_the_King" title="Christ the King">Christ the King</a>, as is common is some Lutheran traditions (see above);</li> <li>finally, and more significantly, the Church of England provision suggests white throughout the Sundays after <a href="/wiki/Epiphany_(holiday)" title="Epiphany (holiday)">Epiphany</a> as a distinct "Epiphany season", with ordinary time commencing the day after <a href="/wiki/Candlemas" title="Candlemas">Candlemas</a>.</li></ul></dd></dl> <p>The colour scheme suggested by the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a> also indicates where gold vestments should be used in those churches that possess gold and white as distinct colours.

Advent and Lent are periods of preparation and repentance and are represented by the colour purple. Blue can be used for Advent instead of purple. The feasts of Christmas Day and Christmastide, Epiphany Sunday, Baptism of the Lord Sunday, Transfiguration Sunday, Easter Season, Trinity Sunday, and Christ the King Sunday are represented by white. Green is the colour for periods of Ordinary Time. Red is for Pentecost Sunday, but may also be used for ordinations, church anniversaries, and memorial services for ordained clergy. Red or purple are appropriate for Palm Sunday. During Holy Week, purple is used until the church is stripped bare on Maundy Thursday; the church remains stripped bare on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, though in some places black might be used on those days. </p><p>Similarly, the <a href="/wiki/United_Church_of_Christ" title="United Church of Christ">United Church of Christ</a> includes indications of which liturgical colour to use for each Sunday in its annual calendar.
