The SIMPLE designation is a
prescription which assumes that one has three sets of vestments - a set of non-metallic
gold or some other pale color for general usage, a bright set of white, and a dark set of
wine red or purple.
The TRADITIONAL designation is that commonly practiced in this country
and which assumes multiple sets of vestments of varied colors.
