I could go with the called-by-surname thing, if it weren't for the fact that even her sister calls her Yang.

In any case, the topic is about why only one of her names references yellow. I think the surnames referencing colors for the others was just a happy extra. The surnames seem to speak more to the characters themselves. Ruby is innocent as a rose. Weiss has a cold personality. Deadly nightshade fits Blake perfectly, and Yang being a little dragon seems fitting as well. I think it just comes down to them not being able to find a good name that reflected both personality and color for her.
