The scalable piece set lacks borders around the piece shapes.
For example white pieces should have dark border outlining
their shape (as Fritz UI does). The way they designed them
without borders requires 4 sharply distinct colors to make
any color piece stand out on any color square. While one
can find 4 such contrasting colors, it is not easy to pick
any decently looking nondistracting combo.

They surely could have used a real artist for advice, to
put the needed final touch (or at least they could have
mimicked Fritz UI).
