Gryffindor is actually red and gold, and the reds used in the movie were
darker, towards maroon, than towards orange.  Slytherin is green and
silver, with no shade of green specified, though everyone seems to
associate Slytherin with darker greens.

Hufflepuff is black and yellow, and Ravenclaw is blue and bronze.

I believe for any of these, your best reference for colors is to check out
official illustrations for each of the houses' crests.

Hope that helps!
