I actually like the robes the way they are, but if you wanted to change the
colors, how about corresponding to House colors.  Slytherins in green with
silver accents, Gryffindors in scarlet with gold accents, etc.  I've always
wondered how, in the books, a student automatically knows what house another
student that they've never seen before is in.  This would make it easy and
probably even look cool, although I can see how this could serve to alienate
the houses even farther.
