I'm not sure if Aura colors are meant to correlate with personality traits. It seems like they may have chosen Aura colors strictly based on what would look best with the character, whether through their name or their appearance. It's like how they said that the characters' emblems are chosen because they look cool - there's apparently no deeper meaning, they just look cool.

So, most of the time, they go with what color would match the character's name:


 * Red for Ruby, whose name points to a red gem and red roses.


 * Light purple for Blake, whose last name can point to the light purple flowers of the Atropa belladonna plant (but also the poisonous black berries).


 * Yellow for Yang, whose name points to the yellow star we call the Sun.


 * Pink for Nora, whose name may be meant to point to the Nora Barlow Columbine flower.


 * Red for Pyrrha, whose first name means "flame-colored" and refers to the color of her hair.


 * Pink for Ren, whose name points to the lotus flower.

Etc and so forth.

But then we have Glynda with purple Aura, when the only thing purple about her is the inner side of her cape. There's Mercury, whose Aura is white, I guess because it looks good with his color scheme, they don't want to do black Aura, and silver might have been hard to do or may not have stood out enough. And there's Qrow, whose Aura is red like his eyes.
