You can do the same thing with a uncolored wood putty as well. Even add a little stain.
If the filler is a bit darker, it will look like a small knot in the wood so here is where a bit of stain comes into play.
I have American walnut floors in my house and as they are a reclaimed wood, they don't even look close to perfect. In my opinion, that patina of small defects, cracks, worm holes, knots, etc makes the floor look cooler than it would if it were perfect and defect free.
