The process of milk is not directly linked to the cow's digestive system, no matter what colour of hide the cow is: black, brown, red, white, black-and-white, yellow, orange, etc. Milk becomes white because of the blood that supplies the cells in the alveoli that are found in huge masses in the udder. Milk has similar components to blood, except for hemoglobins and red blood cells which make blood red. These components that are fed to the milk secreting cells by the capillaries are what makes the milk white. Other contributors to the whiteness of milk are proteins called Casein that are found in milk.

The same way a human mother eats steak, veggies, and blueberry pie then gives her baby milk. The food is digested to its components (e.g. simple sugars, fats, amino acids) then reassembled as the various parts of the body need.
Both cows and humans are mammals and mammals make milk to feed their young. The mammary glands that make milk are a part of the female mammalian reproductive system.
Cows are mammals and herbivores. They are instinctively grazing animals and raise live young, which depend on them for several months for nutrition and survival.
This is because the colour of plants that she eats never affects the colour milk she produces.
The colour pigmentation of the milk is not affected by the colour of the food that cattle eat, it is affected by the mammary glands. These glands consist of hormones that produce white milk.
