Frosted vs. Translucent White for Semi Opaque Window Background

Recommended Posts

Below are windows I need to do some graphics on.  Customer has some white text that is impossible to read.  So she wanted to do black, which is still going to be hard to read.

I am thinking something like the Frosted Glass or White Translucent vinyl behind the text might be good to still let some light through her windows?

What do you think?  Any experience?   There are 3 windows next to each other, all needing decals, so she is worried about blocking too much light.  Blinds are always down an partially open.

I have used some frosted galss vinyl and if you don't have good light behind it, ie, on a window you're looking into, it looks silver.

 

You might suggest an outline color. Maybe white letters with a blue outline.

That makes sense.  I have tried contacting Oracal to send a couple sq ft samples, but no reply so far.  I have to try it out before deciding.
