@kewpie saidSurely always going the opposite way is still getting your decision made for you.
I read somewhere that the most preferred colour for males is pink, and for females is blue. Maybe we just choose not to like the colour we were expected to dress in as babies.
I use the default chess board settings, but why do I feel so ashamed to admit it??
@fmf saidThere is merit in your objection; take your idea to “site ideas” and present it to Russ.
I am against personal choice in this matter and your personal choice [confessed to above] makes the case better than I can. You should not be allowed to see my chess moves in that way against my wishes.
You could consider asking him to include a penalty for those people refusing to view their opponents moves within the board settings dictated by them.

@drewnogal saidThe colour must depend on the device. On my backlit tablet it's much like a real-life board with a Staunton set. I suspect I'd go for something different if I was using a laptop. It's not helping my rating at all. 🤐
Yours reminds me of a medieval courtyard; sombre and dark whereas mine is more like gingham kitchen curtains; practical and fresh aiding clear thinking 😀
@drewnogal saidI quote like the alpha + dark chocolate combo although I’m now nervous that if I change then I may not benefit from chesstachio’s alleged rating boost.

@very-rusty saidI've just been checking my original assumption and it seems that a majority of both sexes claim blue as their favorite colour. Pink is chosen by some girls but very few boys.
What if you happen to be male and your favourite colour is blue?

@kewpie saidIt takes a special kind of man to chose pink ~ which I think looks best on older chunky males with a bald head for some reason? 😀

@kewpie saidI am assuming stats would give you that same answer. 😉

Although I believe Elvis had a pink cadillac.
Then again he had a song about his blue suede shoes.
