I remember that once a friend, who was diamond member, showed me chess.com on his computer, and there was a color of the board I like very much. It was a kind of olive, now I became also diamond member, but I cannot find it.

I seem to remember a few threads in the last month complaining about losing some of the board options.  Sorry, that's all I've got...

I lied, apparently I have more. Laughing Was it the green marble?

Thanks Baddogno, it seems other users have discovered the board colors disappeared. It wasn't marble, it was a kind of wood olive, really nice, not too aggressive on the eyes.

Green kind of looks like what you're thinking. Here's an example.

No it was called wood olive, it still exist the name when you go to tactic trainer, and put a position in the comments, but when you put that color, and insert the diagram, it becomes brown. So it seems chess.com has eliminated a bunch of nice color chessboards, maybe for making happy the users with tablets.

Mmm indeed the options are still there (same with pink, winboard etc) but it doesn't change the colour. Maybe it's a bug they don't know about?

I wonder why, if not a bug, they would remove them?

I don't believe it is a bug, because if you go to tactic trainer and try to customize the color of the chess board, the colors above don't exist anymore, there are now some colors which are ridicolous, like bubblegum, and some woods which are too dark and distracting.
