1. "Subflavum" does not mean blonde
2. Malalas and Sieglin are not credible sources
3. Light hair and light eyes are not rare in Italy

Also, they described as "subflavum" which was a nickname for the nobility (and also means "bright").
The problem is, we don't know what the term 'Flavum' (word from where sub+flavum derived) means, though. So to attribute it to "blond" hair is really a wild guess and overall poor analysis.
Many of the information about the Emperors being blonde comes from the Medieval writers (who were a lot of germanic descendants right before -or after- the fall of Rome).

But light hair/eyes was indeed rare in the Southern part of Europe before the migrations after the Baroque époque. Of course there was contact with germanic tribes, but it wasn't common to see them.

It is logical to assume that "rutilae" means blonde instead since that's the term they used to describe the hair color of Germanics and Scythians. I believe the term "rubio" in Spanish is also derived from it and it means blonde as well.

No. The term we have in Spanish derived from "rutilae" is "Rutilante" which means "to spark" or "bright."
