The trouble with colors other than black and white is getting them to match. You'd have to order dresses in bulk, or order fabric in bulk and have everyone's dresses made, or you're going to end up with as many different shades of green (or whatever) as you have sisters.
I'd go for shorter-length cocktail dresses rather than floor-length formal gowns. I think that's the bigger issue - nobody wants to run around on a September day at noon in a long black formal dress.

My chapter has worn red dresses for pref and each woman selects one for herself. I've always viewed the different styles and different (appropriate shades) a reflection of how we're individuals but we're all Alpha Gams.
Plus this is UCLA, they have oodles of shopping choices unlike cow town where I live
ETA: I was also thinking green or green and white as it may make the chapter stick in PNMs minds, but obviously I defer to aephialum since she's an AEPhi.
