(..) so those giant black crystals really are gravity Dust, which is confusing 'cause it seemed like the purple powdered Dust in Myrtenaster is gravity Could it be not so much black dust but just really dark purple? I mean, really dark purple/blue/etc can sometimes look black... at least to me (disclaimer that my colour vision isn't exactly the most reliable one). So... are Weiss's black glyphs actually really dark purple, or... why does gravity - dark purple dust - make black glyphs? I dunno, the visual effects for gravity Dust have been both black and dark purple, sometimes at the same time.

In that RWBY Chibi skit, I think it was called Reloading, where Ruby calls out Dust types for Weiss to hand her, the gravity Dust bullet she fires creates a splash effect that's black with some dark purple in it, and then the remnants of it is dark purple before fading.
