It is only the pitcher's glove that is color restricted.
Rule 1-3-6 The glove/mitt worn by the pitcher shall be uniform in color and neither white or gray. Grey's comment about 1st baseman's mitts prompted me to look closer at the rule... Casebook 1.3.6 F9 catches a fly ball with a first baseman's mit. While leaving the playing field after the third out, the coach of Team B detects this. RULING: There is not a distinction between a glove or mitt. Therefore the catch is legal. Gloves/mitts that do not meet rules specifications are illegal. Those specifications are also contained in Rule 1-3-6 and are the size specification height, width, and webbing measurements. First baseman mitts must meet the same specifications as any other fielder's glove. By the way, this is the only casebook play I found that address an illegal glove.
