They seemed to be gray colored in PoA, GoF and OotP. Or do I remember
it all wrong :-)?


Carol:

Well, part of the time the lighting in OoP is bluish and dark, so it's
hard to tell, but here's a good OoP shot of DD in the gray robes for
comparison:

The hair looks slightly grayer or drabber in the OoP still, but I'm
not certain. And here's one from PoA where he looks considerably
grayer and drabber (but still in the same outfit):

I *think* they've finally made him a little more like Book!Dumbledore
for HBP, but they probably didn't want to alter his image all the way
back to the Richard Harris!DD of the first two films (whose costumes
were much more like those described in the books than Gambon's one
costume for his three films so far). Anyway, just my hopeful
interpretation based on that one new photo. Of course, we should
probably look at GoF as well to be sure, but I'm not motivated to sift
through a thousand photos looking for the best ones that prove my point!

Carol, confessing that she prefers the costumes from the first two
films, whatever weaknesses they may have otherwise
