In FED it is illegal if the umpire deems it distracting to the batter. If not, play on.

I generally don't pay any attention to the batting glove in a Fed game unless the batter says something about it, especially if it is a dark color. If the coach complains may as well get rid of it, since he will just instruct batter to complain if we don't get rid of it. If a white glove I get rid of it to save time.

Had one last week, and a coach asked me to have a relief pitcher who had just taken the mound remove his glove. I went out to look at it, started to say he could leave it, then noticed that it had white on it. So I told the pitcher why it had to come off, and he didn't complain.
