Until fairly recently, historically speaking, vestments on Good Friday were black, symbolising the deepest mourning. The most common time for the Easter Vigil, at least down here, [south of England] is 8pm, which means when Easter is late, it can still be daylight, meaning the symbolism is lost. Still,it is better than before Pius XII reintroduced the ancient Pascal liturgy to the Church. Before then,the vigil was, somewhat inappropriately celebrated on the Saturday morning. I'm not quite old enough to remember this myself, i'm quite elderly but not quite that elderly. I consider the revived Paschal liturgy the greatest gift of the Pius XII pontificate. It survived the Paul VI 1969 liturgical reforms with only minor changes, the most significant are the option, usually taken, to use vernacular language, the three alternative Eucharistic Prayers and the change from black to red vestments on Good Friday.
