It's probably to help visually distinguish them from actual players, since few players use base colors and appearances. In the heat of battle/when surrounded by a crapton of particle effects it can be difficult to tell a teammate from a specter unless you take a second to look for a name; if they look identical and you're trying to say, Banish a teammate to save them or recover their energy, it's easy to nab the wrong one if you're reacting to appearance.
