ChessImager - Changing the square colors
To change the color of the dark squares, add this to the end of the URL:
&ds_color=(d,d,d)
The d’s represent the red, green, and blue components of the color you’d like. Replace the d’s with numbers between 0 and 255. (Don’t use any spaces.) Here are some sample colors:
- White: (255,255,255)
- Black: (0,0,0)
- Red: (255,0,0)
- Green: (0,255,0)
- Blue: (0,0,255)
- Cyan: (0,255,255)
- Magenta: (255,0,255)
- Yellow: (255,255,0)
To change the color of the light squares, add this:
&ls_color=(d,d,d)
Here’s a board with different choices for both the dark and light squares:
