White, ivory, boxwood, maple. HOS has a line where the White pieces are blood rosewood and the Black pieces are ebony, and other companies market sets where the White pieces are red. I doubt that any TD would allow their use over a timely objection.
See my king all dressed in red. Iko iko in-day. Bet you five dollars he'll kill you dead. Iko Iko un-day. Hey now, hey now...

What about green or orange?

Another shot or two of the Romanian/Hungarian set, here on the refinished Spanish board. You can see the red border I added to accent the red pieces.
Here's some close-up pics of another Red Romanian set
I like those knights!

Great shots picking up all the details of the many angled facets of the knights, Mike!

Thanks Chuck
My set for outdoor play in the park appears deep burgundy in the picture, but is much lighter in real life:
The closest I found was the source below, but the knight is different:
It is a "Kasparov" set for sure, with very tall rooks.
Note: my set is plastic, but the one in the link is wood.
More red pieces
Vintage Windsor Castle red pieces
The 4" CB Red Dubrovnik
The Red Romanian Set
Thanks!
