The color was also considered modest and meant the priests were not trying to out-dress or outshine others. Black priestly clothing is hugely symbolic in the modern day. It is a daily reminder to the priests of their commitment to the church. During Sundays and weekdays in which the Church acknowledges no feasts, priests wear their green chasubles. Historically, green represents a time of hope, as represented by healthy, growing plants and trees. Green vestments signify a time between liturgical seasons, called Ordinary Time on the Church calendar.
Many churches value being frugal and modest, so pay for priests can be fairly low. At mass the Catholic priest kiss the stole and the Holy Bible as signs of the bond between the priesthood and God. In the Low Mass form of Tridentine Mass, the priest placed them in the middle of the altar immediately before beginning Mass.

Related to our Feb. Recently, our pastor announced that it was not appropriate for boys to be wearing black cassocks, since these are symbolic of the vow of celibacy, and our altar boys are not necessarily destined for the priesthood. He has begun replacing their dress with red cassocks and surplices. It would seem that a switch from black to red cassocks is certainly well within the authority of the pastor to direct, but I'm just a little surprised at his reasoning.
Is there a meaning to the colors for altar boys' cassocks? What are the allowable colors? Is it correct that black is not appropriate for to year-old boys? While the pastor may determine this point, I would respectfully disagree with his reasoning. As far as I can ascertain, there is no rule that would exclude black cassocks for altar servers.
