I'm just gonna copypasta what we found out in the main wiki.

Ruby Rose - Red, obviously

Weiss - German for white

Blake - The name itself means black

Yang - Chinese for sun, which is yellow

Jaune - Apparently French for yellow?

Nora - Short for Eleonora, which means light, so I guess white or rainbow?

Ren - Chinese for lotus, I think, which is a pink flower

Sun Wukong - Once again, the sun is yellow

Cardin - Short for cardinal, and cardinals are red

Russel - Means red-haired, apparently? Dove - Light gray. Plus, his last name is Bronzewing.

Sky Lark - Sky, enough said

Peter - Stone?

Bartholomew - Can apparently mean rich land for farming, aka green

Glynda - Fair-skinned, apparently, which brings to mind the color of pale skin

Velvet - Her last name is Scarlatina, so scarlet

Cinder - Her last name is Fall, bringing to mind autumn colors. Plus, cinder brings to mind fiery colors.

Penny - Copper, considering pennies are copper

Adam - The name Adam can mean red

Qrow - The thought of crows brings to mind the color black

Melanie Malachite - Melanie is derived from Greek melania, meaning blackness. Malachite is a green mineral.

Miltiades Malachite - Miltiades means red earth, and Malachite is a green mineral. (Melanie and Miltiades are the twins from Yellow Trailer)

Lisa Lavender - Lavenders are purple (the reporter from episode 1)
