"He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone.  Instead he was 
smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square 
glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its 
eyes.  She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one."

"The door swung open at once.  A tall black-haired witch in emerald-
green robes stood there."

I didn't go looking for more, but these are the first two times we 
see McGonagall in the book, and she is described the same way both 
times.  Personally, I love Maggie Smith's emerald cloak/robe.  I 
wonder if she was allowed to keep it!
