As to why I am making such a big deal about hair color in this case, it is because it is a unique hair color that seems to be exclusive to this particular family. It could be I am way of base, but these small things have a habit of ending up being important foreshadowing down the road. The problem is that, you cannot say that 2 people are related just because of their hair color. Especially in works like RWBY, where people can have blue hair, green hair, pink hair, mint-green hair, grey hair, and so on, without those hair colors being anything special.

The King of Mantle was shown in pure white. However, that doesn't mean he had white hair. It could've easily and logically been portrayed as a white figure just to represent the fact that he was the King of Mantle, whose color is White.

Just like Ozking was portrayed as a green figure, Vale's color. Same with the other 2 leaders.

Even if we assumed that he did have white hair, the problem remains that the logic is literally grasping at straws. It's connecting 2 people who don't have even an implied connection, based solely on hair color.

If you want to at least theorize that Weiss is descended from royalty or related in some way to the old King of Mantle, you need solid evidence. "He might have had white hair like the Schnees do", that is not solid evidence, at least not by itself.
