The cappa is a taborro (spelling, guys?), a sort of double-winter cloak. It is one of these pieces of prelatical non-liturgical dress that supposedly were supressed but still keep popping up every now and then, much to the dismay of the "Keep it simple/Don't offend the poor/Christ didn't have any of that stuff either/You dress like a woman"-crowd.
As for the color, it doesn't look that freakish to me. Seems to be a middle-of-the-road episcopal purple.
tabarro, or at least it attempts to mimic a tabarro for a midgit.
The colour is normal; it's roman paonazza (magenta), the colour of papal livery adopted by prelates in the 19th c. to replace the old prelatial purple which was sometimes like blue)
