I'd personally like to distinguish Gravity from Telekinesis as much as possible. Since Telekinesis is pretty much mind over matter, it'd probably be more free as opposed to Gravity which tends to have a more restrictive direction or vector. I mean, I suppose you could technically control which direction the Gravity is pointed to, but from it's most practical uses (whether in RWBY or any series) range from weighing enemies down/lightening them (like an enhance/debuff sort of element) or as a 1 directional sling/launcher as with one of Ruby and Weiss' team tactics.

Glynda does seem to radiate purple when she uses her Semblance so maybe Gravity can facilitate it, but the two are still very distinct. (I'd have thought the purple could just easily have been her Aura; as far as I've seen, characters with purple Aura in any series tend to be sarcastic, cynical, worrying, or very potent. But that's just my perspective.)
