Since the cable ties themselves are plastic I see no reason why they wouldn't work for plastic downspouts, actually some here are plastic, too, i.e., I do not think they have to be metal.
I have only tried black, so I know black works, dunno about other colors. You could always obtain white ties then use a black Marker to color them black.
You can leave the tail on the cable tie or snip it off, as you prefer.
You might need longer cables ties in some cases as diameter of drainspouts vary. Maybe you can find 20" black ties. Cable ties can be daisy chained if you can't find longer ties.
As for how this tweak works, I don't know.
