White spirit token cards that aren't... white?

I have an EDH deck with Ranar the Ever-Watchful as the commander, so I make a bunch of White 1/1 Spirit Tokens.
I found these super cool custom token cards on Etsy (link below), but they don't exactly convey that the tokens are white, with the background color being black. Do you think that's a problem aesthetically (just feeling kinda off) or functionally (other players getting confused on the color)?

I'd honestly be more concerned that people would confuse if they have flying or not because of the wings but no keywords. the color of the tokens doesn't usually come up unless you are making use of it in your own deck with something like Honor of the Pure. I think the cards you linked might have actually been intended to be colorless and non-flying which was what the spirits during old kamigawa had like on Forbidden Orchard. Ultimately so long as your opponents understand what the card represents any tokens should work. i have seen people use a 1/1 red goblin to represent a 2/2 blue flying bird. we just put a die with a 2 on it and agreed to just remember it had flying.

Considering that Tokens can be represented by virtually anything, including scraps of paper and/or dice... um, no..
As long as you don't try something like attempting to represent different things with the same Token, you should be fine..
