When there not doing a ceremony priests wear all black suits, it seems that white would be more fitting.

The color of the Catholic clerical clothes is connected with the hierarchy of of the clergy
+ The Pope wears white
+ Cardinals wear red
+ Bishops wear violet
+ Priest wear black
Black is a symbol of:
+ Poverty, giving up bright colors and thus giving up what the world brings, its glittering, honors and entertainment
+ Dying to to the world every day and being immersed in eternity
+ Dying to oneself to rise and serve the Lord as well as giving witness of the Kingdom yet to come.
With love in Christ.
