The halo is made by the wall, not by the letter. Surface colour, surface texture and the stand-off distance decide whether the effect is a clean outline or a smudge, and none of those are things a letter specification usually mentions. They are all listed here.
A reception wordmark is looked at from two metres by people with nothing else to do. Every seam, every kerning error and every uneven reflection is visible. See the halo and backlit brand walls route for how this is specified on a live job.
These points are reproduced from our own production specification for Backlit LED Letters 18. Nothing has been added to them.

Reception walls and facades where the brand colour should appear as light on the wall, not on the letter.

Hotel and office lobbies where the letters are read against an evenly lit feature wall.
View specificationThe brand colour had to appear at night without the letter face glowing, so the sign reads as solid brushed metal in daylight and as a coloured outline after dark.
