FED Rules - ANY part of glove that is white or gray is illegal for the pitcher to use. Two toned is legal subject to above, OR if glove is deemed to be distracting. Most two toned gloves today would NOT be deemed distracting as I doubt anyone is making them in flourescent colors. There are some two toned that have a significant amount of gray in them so be careful.

Given what I have said, I have never personally seen an umpire reject a glove for white stitching or white on the mfgrs logo.
