It truly does depend... the colors of the bishops hats changed a few 
times during Henry VIII's reign...

if one goes into all the color changes it may give one motion 
sickness...however most if not all of the color changes are documented.

During the begining of Henry VIII's reign I would wager on 
Purple...towards the later reign of HenryVIII...It was another 
colorI'd wager....
