I should point out that the colours of House Baratheon are black and YELLOW, \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' black and gold (and no, yellow and gold aren\\\'t the same shade). The showrunners took the trouble to change the colours of Renly\\\'s sigil (they could\\\'ve simply kept the original banner just like his character does in the books) because it symbolizes the Tyrell-like personality that they have given to him (the TV character is pretty much a male version of Margaery, not a poor copy of Robert). From a production-level perspective, it represents more than \\\"just\\\" Renly acknowledging the contributions of his wife\\\'s family to his cause. In terms of how his character was written for show, he IS a Tyrell at heart despite carrying the Baratheon name.

Although Renly only wore black throughout Season 1, the costume designer put in the effort to create a green brocade cloak for his character to wear when Loras jousted, and she clearly had the intention of linking the green of Loras\\\' sigil with Renly\\\'s fashion choices. There\\\'s no other reason why she would bother to add this garment on Renly (especially considering that he\\\'s only a secondary character) when it would\\\'ve been easier and cheaper just to have him be dressed solely in black for the tourney.
