Venerable Bede! That one came unexpected. What does he do in October? Sure, his natalis is the feast of St. Augustine of C. (the original, though now, at least outside England, St. Philipp); his generalcalendar feast, the day after, was this year the Vigil of Pentecost. But even by the old principle of "faraway transfer", he should have been transferred to some day earlier than St. Angela Merici, and she was no later than August (or in my private update fancies, September).
Anyway, this yields for my "update speculation" (thanks for the answers by the way, I'll reply to them properly later):
Sunday. The Feast of Christ the King, double of the I class, proper preface, special prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament exposed in a monstrance mandated. Plenary indulgence.
The local feast of St. Bede, double major, is transferred. St. Anthony Mary Claret, in the general calendar a semidouble by my theory from last week, is put on the run for the feasts fixed to a later date.
In Beverley, nothing different from the rest of England.
Monday. St. John Cantius, double, white (from 20th). I assume he was not put on the Apostles' Vigil. I also assume that he still has a double, otherwise, someone else is waiting in the list of still to be fixed semidoubles. Vespers of the following.
Tuesday. Vigil. Fast. St. Bede the Venerable, double major, transferred, Com. of the Vigil. Vesper of the following.
(I apply here the logic that semidoubles are not transferred to a major vigil such as that of All Saints, not even by way of "fixed feasts". So, the Vigil is generally free of a feast, which however means that in this year it is free for the transferred feast.)
Thursday. In addition, second Mass for the intentions of the Holy Father (which I believes means as a replacement for defunct perpetual-mass-foundations), third by those bound to say a mass pro populo for their local dead, otherwise ad libitum.
A perhaps more serious correction, you say that the Feria on the 30th was violet. I do not see how that can possibly be the case, it should be green.
Finally some green somewhere! And at monasteries, even green at Vespers, an even rarer occurrence. (Though even at monasteries, they won't be solemn, and does the officiant wear a stole for nonsolemn Vespers? Hm.)
The Tuesday, being a Vigil, is violet, obviously. Monday not.
What does make sense, though, is to use violet here for those parishes who, it being so very rarely necessary, have not yet purchased green vestments (while on Sunday, you'd use white). (In fact, the old Calendar being as festive as it was, it makes sense to purchase green vestments only when you've already even got your rosecolour ones for Laetare and Gaudete...)
Monday should be green as Nepomuk says and the Ordo indicates.
Another, possible, solution to Calendar congestion would be to have more commemorations of simples on semidoubles or even several simples on the same day.
No rose though please!
Monday is now 'Green'. (I mistranslated the 'V'.)
Rubricarius: you won't enjoy the rubric for Gaudete Sunday '... (col viol defectu rosacei) ...
J.B. O'Connell remarks "Rose-coloured vestments are used, when available, on the third Sunday of Advent and fourth in Lent." [My emphasis]
So if no one bothers to buy rose vestments then one can happily use violet. I would have thought it better to buy violet, and black, folded chasubles rather than rose vestments.
Interestingly, the rubric in C.E. Lib.II, Cap.13, 11 - which is older than the rubric in the Missal (which does not appear until very late) changed around the turn of the 19th century. Previous editions refer to 'more sumptuous' vestments for use on those Sundays.
