I believe that you need the white color by law. You can take the risk if you want though. Just don't be surprised if you do get stopped.

Just tell them you bought the car like that and that you'll change them ASAP. They should let you slide once unless they are having a bad day...

what you can't really see in the picture is that ontario license plate number are blue and when seing it with your eyes, its almost the light hides the numbers and makes it hard to see lol.
