It is kind of tricky. I can't get any solid conclusions since we haven't got it explained officially and Weiss' abilities are never the same.

When she changed the chamber into the red dust, her sword was filled with a red color and she got the strength power. And it also happened when she changed it into the green color. And when she used that finishing move, if you check her sword after she destroyed the knight, the dust chambers are empty. Like if she mixed every dust to create the white dust to terminate her enemy.

But her glyphs are also something to look at. She has several: One that serves as a mine trap, another that works as a gravity force, another one to shoot things. I don't think she has multiple glyphs as her semblance. I believe she mixes dust into her glyphs to alter their powers. I honestly don't trust the White Trailer when trying to figure out what dust does, simply because it feels like it was majorly a prototype, just a test run Monty did while still figuring out the fine details of dust before he decided that red is fire.

And I agree that it is very possible that she could channel energy from dust to enhance and/or influence her semblance. Thinking about the "red is fire" thing, I think it was meant for fire in the first place. In her trailer she parried the greatsword of the Giant Armor with ease because when the greatsword made contact with Weiss's blade it made a concentrated explosion that knocked back the sword. Also in Players and Pieces when she launched Ruby the glyph turned red, which could've been another concentrated explosion that amplified the speed she was flying.
