When I was an altar boy long, long ago, on Marian feasts our priests generally wore a white chasuble that was trimmed out in blue and generally had an image of the Blessed Mother on the chasuble
I've always hoped for approval for the use of navy blue vestments for Advent, highlighting the Marian flavor of the season and distinguishing it from Lent's violet. Marini's is a little too "Robin's Egg" for my tastes.
