All from _Goblet of Fire_, US Scholastic edition:

1) "Next moment, what seemed to be a great green-and-gold comet came 
zooming into the stadium." p. 104

2) "Harry realized that it was actually comprised of thousands of 
tiny little bearded men with red vests, each carrying a minute lamp 
of gold or green."  also p. 104 (and either JKR or her editor has 
made the composed/comprised mistake)

3) "Seven green blurs swept onto the field; Harry spun a small dial 
on the side of his Omnioculars and slowed the players down enough to 
read the word "Firebolt" on each of their brooms and see their names, 
embroidered in silver, upon their backs.  p. 105 (Hmm . . . the Irish 
national Quiddich team has the same colors as the Slytherins)

4) "It wasn't as bad as he had expected, however; his dress robes 
didn't have any lace on them at all - in fact, they were more or less 
the same as his school ones, except that they were bottle green 
instead of black."  p. 156

5) "He pressed his badge into his chest, and the message upon it 
vanished, to be replaced by another one, which glowed green: POTTER 
STINKS."  p. 298


Give my points to Gryffindor - I thought I'd be Ravenclaw, but the 
Hat says no, and who am I to argue?  :)
