How about just light and dark? A lot of chessboards don't have strictly black and white colored pieces anyway.

- drran 5y ago"Light gray" is easy to misspell as "light gay", e.g. "light gay knight takes dark gay bishop". IMHO, it's better to use "wine" (w) and "blue" (b) as colors.
- mPReDiToR 5y agoIf you use English rather than American, you have "light grey" which is less ambiguous.
- rawbot 5y agoIt would still be light-skinned pieces vs. dark-skinned pieces.
- nicky0 5y agoChess already has the terminology of light squares and dark squares, so adopting that for the pieces too would add confusion and awkwardness. For example “black’s light squared bishop” would become “light’s light squared bishop”.
