The chausable should be light blue!
Blue bandings, light or navy, are licit in the USA but not blue of any shade for the chasuable itself. I find it odd that there isn’t a universal allowance for blue vestments to honor our Lady, especially the lighter blue ones and the darker blue ones that could be used during the season of Advent.
I’m for a universal indult but only for Marian feasts (not votive masses eg our lady’s Saturday)
Both Benedict (as pope) & Francis (as bishop) wore blue vestments.

Ex Unum Pluribus
Until the time Pope Benedict XVI was born, which is to say the Council of Trent, liturgical colors in the Western church followed local custom. Up to the fourth century, to the extent there even were vestments instead of people gathering in what they called “clothes,” it’s thought that they were usually white, a color associated with Roman citizenship. In Rome throughout most of Catholic history there were three liturgical colors, namely white, red, and black.
In the middle ages green and brown also began to show up in the Latin Rite for Ordinary Time so that the whites could be kept extra nice for special occasions. On those days, gold and silver vestments were used instead of white at wealthy churches that could afford it, and that’s why they’re considered “liturgical white,” a concept nearly as logic-defying as “liturgical east.” Black vestments were made using vegetable dyes until modern times. After a few launderings down at the creekside, or even enough time in the closet, they ended up looking more like blue or violet. Similarly faded red vestments became the pink rose vestments a traddy priest needs to feel fully dressed. (Well, that and his cufflinks.) With the Renaissance came increased trade in dyes and new methods and it got a whole lot easier and cheaper to make your reds stay red, your greens stay green, etc.
Benedict wearing “liturgical red”…
