I thought the silver eyes thing might be related more to the "White Ruby" seen during at the cliffisde altar during the credits (possibly whoever is buried in the cliffside altar?). Possibly Ruby inherited her silver eyes from a relative whom Ozpin knows (her mother, or Crow?) hence why Ozpin is surprised to see she has silver eyes.

It could still also be related to the legend, however. Possibly Ruby's mother was believed to be the subject of the legend because of her silver eyes, but she was killed, leaving Ruby to fulfil the legend.
