There's a photo at Rex Features of some of the student extras:

Hufflepuff is yellow and black. The yellow appears to be lighter than Gryffindor's gold. 
Ravenclaw appears to be light blue and white.

A friend who works at the Wal-Mart bakery swiped four little cake toppers for me (don't laugh!), 
each with a house coat of arms on them. They say © 2001 Warner Bros. They're all pretty 
much accurate to the book descriptions as far as I can remember. Ravenclaw's bronze is even 
a bit darker than Gryffindor's gold. Hufflepuff's badger is black with a sort of yellow face (or 
yellow highlighting).

all the pieces of the Harry Potter one. heheh.
