I work for a Fortune 100 company. Our attorneys believe white letter on glass will hold up in court and we post on all our buildings in this manner. I agree it's unlikely to be tested.

To me, the relevant question would be "what color is directly behind the glass?". If it's a white wall, then I'd simply present a picture in court and argue that the white lettering against a white backdrop is not "contrasting colors". But if there is something dark behind the white lettering then they might have a point. Most of the legal summaries I see on this paraphrase the requirement as "contrasts with the background", but the actual law says "appears in contrasting colors". Either way, since clear glass does not have a color, by definition, I think it is reasonable to say that the contrast would be with whatever background a viewer could see when they look at the sign.

Of course, unless your company's lawyers are also prosecutors, they won't have to argue this in a court.
