A lot of people say they have a variety of different effects--and I'm pretty sure they don't. The dust she uses creates different effects, but those are a different thing entirely from Weiss's semblance.

If you look closely, Weiss's glyphs are only seen doing two basic things: attraction, or repulsion. We would know she's able to switch between the two in one glyph because she does it when launching Ruby at the Nevermore.

= Her Air Step technique is likely attraction, or attraction and then repulsion, used like a springboard.

= Uses it in the White Trailer to speed past the Giant Armor--this would be repulsion.

= Uses it again in air step fashion to attack from an above angle--this would be attraction, then repulsion.

= Uses it to uppercut the Giant Armor later, then speed across--this is repulsion.

= Remote traps the Giant Armor with a repulsion glyph, then traps it with what would appear to be launched attraction glyphs, or some strange dust manifestation.

= Finally uses two repulsion glyphs to strike down the Giant Armor.

= Uses repulsion to springboard Nora away from the Death Stalker.

= Uses repulsion to launch herself away from the Nevermore in time to get back to Ruby with the slingshot.

= Uses attraction to hold Ruby in the slingshot, then repulsion to launch her at the Nevermore.

= Uses a large number of attraction glyphs to allow Ruby to run up the cliff with the Nevermore. Given the Nevermore's weight in comparison to Ruby, it's likely they were pulling upwards as well.

= Uses repulsion to stop the Boarbatusk's Sonic-the-hedgehog attack.

As for the "color-coded effects" I don't really see any purpose as to the color besides aesthetics. It might be that they change color as they change purpose, as one did during the assault on the Nevermore. But really, only gravity in certain areas seems to be directly affected by the Semblance of Weiss's glyphs. I'm pretty assured of this, and that people need to stop speculating what color glyphs do what.
