Hmmm, I think the green we see is actually just the product of her switching from blue to yellow. We see something similar on the crest in the pictures i provided. If that were the case, it would prove that light blue was used to freeze the ground...

And what do you know? This frame further proves my point about the "Mode" that is activated is the one that faces the point before the thumb begins. We can see Blue, so if we back-track the colors, by two, the color being selected is "Light Blue," if we were to follow the diagram of the color locations.

If we were to continue on following this logic... hmm Let see this part

When Weiss lands on the sword, her rapier is glowing in a way we can't tell which slot is which, but eventually we get a shot where she now has adjusted her colors, to where we see Yellow faceing us..

And a couple frames later we see she still has whatever slot she's at selected, so it doesn't seem like it was rotating. http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/5098/weseeyellow.png

Now, if we estimated which slot she is activating, NOW, we can say that it is 2 colors over, "counter-clock wise," (looking from the blade, not hilt) Which puts it at Purple. Possibly White, but i doubt it. Which means she only briefly used Yellow for an instant, and the purple after-affect we saw later was a direct result of her sword's ability, what ever it may be.

These are mere observations, from looking at the video bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit xD
