There's a reason why Kaguya's eyes look identical to Momoshiki's and Kinshiki's eyes, and also why the Byakugan looks almost identical to their eyes. They're basically hinting us that the Byakugan is closely related to the Otsutsuki's. Since other than that, there's no reason why they couldn't have made it another colour. Also, Momoshiki didn't have the Rinne Sharingan, so the chakra fruit had a different effect on him, so it's unlikely for the Byakugan that manifested on Kaguya to also manifest on Momoshiki.

Then based on that, if the Otsutsuki's had the Byakugan in the first place, and the Rinne Sharingan and Byakugan having similar abilities (being able to see chakra etc.), it's logical to think that the Rinne Sharingan is somehow connected to the Byakugan. Which also explains why the Rinne Sharingan manifested as an eye. Thekillman wrote: The Byakugan is an eye that deals with the physical and vital things (Seeing tenketsu and seeing through the physical(x-ray)) while the Sharingan is an eye that deals with reality(seeing through jutsu) and the mind. Sharingan can see chakra as well though. Plus, it can predict and copy movements by observing their "physical and vital things", like muscle and body movements. Thekillman wrote: it seems Sasuke possesses a different form of Rinne Sharingan, more of a "sharinnegan", yet displays powers of the Rinne Sharingan (ability to negate IT, ability to traverse to kaguyas dimension via portal) while lacking others (God:nativity of a world of trees). I personally think that Hagoromo did have the same eyes as Sasuke, but he didn't show it in full power as it wasn't necessary at the time. It also makes sense because based on the evolution chain, Rinne Sharingan had 9 tomoes, while Sharingan had 3 tomoes, so if Rinnegan is in between these two, it should have 6 tomoes. Madara also said that Sasuke's is a Rinnegan when he first saw it, and not an eye different to his. As for the reason why Madara didn't have 6 tomoes: he didn't get chakra directly from Hagoromo, and there's no reason to use full power after absorbing Ten Tails since he now has the ability to activate the Rinne Sharingan. I'm sure the ability to negate IT is also a Rinnegan ability, Hagoromo did survive the first IT. Pretty sure that God: Nativity of a World of Trees is a jutsu only possible if connected to the Shinju in some way. It is shown to be a jutsu that manipulates the Shinju's roots. Thekillman wrote: By that logic, and by using Kishimoto's love of symbolism (especially yin-yang), one can theorize that a Mangekyou Byakugan exists (ability to alter vitality and the physical). The Last confirms that the Six Paths Byakugan is the Tenseigan (just as the Six Paths sharingan is the Rinnegan). Following what i said earlier, Tensei Byakugan should therefore exist. Agreed, but not sure about the Mangekyou Byakugan part though. Thekillman wrote: Lastly, before people start hating on controversial ideas, remember that the same Chakra reacts differently to different people. Eating the Chakra Fruit gave Kinshiki and Momoshiki different powers than Kaguya. So I'm technically correct saying that the Rinne Sharingan requires both Shinju and Kaguya, since if it's not Kaguya, it could manifest some other eye.
