Umm I believe Ichigo's Zanpaktou is already in it's transformed state. When it isnt transformed, its has no blade because it got raped earlier in the series.
Death gods are mostly pale, with silvery-white Slayers,
Swords in general are usually silvery-white....unless they are made of a weak metal or contain many impurities

I do agree that if Ichigo was part Hallow being able to make that mask manifest when he is about to receive a death blow could definitely come in handy.. It's like a hand being automatically placed between your eyes when someone tries to poke them.. stooges style
