Black cassock is the appropriate color for priests and brothers. Purple is reserved for bishops, scarlett for Cardinals, and white for the pope. It is more tradition than anything else.

What do priests wear during the liturgical year?

That depends on what they're doing. A priest normally wears a cassock or a black suit with clerical collar for his street wear. In church he would normally wear a cassock and a surplice. For some liturgical functions, he wears a stole and cope, for others, just a stole over his cassock and surplice. For Mass, he wears an alb over his cassock, with a stole, maniple, and cincture. Over all of that, he puts on a chasuble. His stole, maniple (if he is wearing one) and chasuble are all the color of the day, or sacrament that he is celebrating.
