I actually went and googled some reddit threads about the 'eye colour importance' in RWBY, and browsed a few. In one of them, which focused on Yang and Neo with their changing eyes and the Raven/Yang red eye colour thing, a reddit user actualy brought up Ruby's silver eyes.

The response they got in return was pretty much "Her eyes are the colour of aluminium. You know what aluminium is used for? Baking potaoes."

So the one guy in the thread who was right got called a potato theorist simply because it wasn't the 'most obvious important eye colour'.

I saw a few speculating that Silver Eyes gives her the ability to use all types of dust with equal ease whereas everyone else has a harder time using types of dust opposite to their eye colour, which is why they channel the dust through their weapons.

I even saw someone puling up meanings of colours and silver had a secretive/hidden power meaning, but no one actually jumped on that bandwagon either. They all jumped on the Yang red/purple eyes theories.

Is it really the creators fault that the hints they gave us as part of foreshadowing, in a panel which the RWBY community is known for obsessively combing through to get information from, are directed in the wrong direction? There was just as little evidence that Yang or Neo had special eyes, and yet everyone jumped on it and dismissed the Ruby theorists right out of hand.
