Light gray background(for white squares), black for dark.

White pieces with black outline - so they show on both light and dark squares.

Thanks, its always good to get some feedback especially on the chosen colors. But to be more precise: The below 2^3 = 8 colors are available for this task:

Code:

FFFFFF = white
FFFF00 = yellow
FF00FF = magenta
FF0000 = red
00FFFF = cyan
0000FF = blue
00FF00 = green
000000 = black

I think with grey shades you mean white squares with several diagonal black lines or vice versa, right? The white pieces have a black boundary. I can invert the colors so that the black pieces have white boundary and check the outcome. But its clear if we use black or white squares for the board the boundaries of the pieces will be not visible in some cases ...

Edit: With white boundaries for the black pieces i should be able to drop the biting green color for the black pieces. Great idea danested!

What about the below combinations?
