	Advent also uses pink.

	Pink (rose) is an optional liturgical color for the Third Sunday of Advent. Rose is a bonus answer in this quiz.

	Great quiz. One nitpick: While it's absolutely true that black is traditionally used for All Souls' and funeral rites (and is 110% cooler), under the modern rubrics it's also licit to use violet. Perhaps you could accept both for that one? Fun bonuses. If you wanted to be super liturgically nerdy, you could add blue as an additional bonus, as it is approved for use in certain Spanish dioceses for feasts of the Blessed Virgin.

	Aell: all of what you say is correct. I just didn't add All Soul's and funeral masses to the violet hint to keep things clearer. Thanks for the bonus hint!

	my Sunday School students will play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey for Palm Sunday (Mar 28), because Jesus was riding a donkey while the crowd waved palms.
