For pitchers, the rule prohibits white, grey, or anything that is, in the umpire's judgment, distracting. OBR 3.07(a).
For the other fielders, the only limitation is the Pantone 14 reference. Maybe Joe West has a MLB color chart in the umpire locker room, but we amateurs? Even if a coach raises the issue--I can't imagine an umpire doing so on his/her own--could you really distinguish between different shades, perhaps subtly different? "Coach, looks good to me. Let's play ball."
