Customizing Stone Colors
As Go players, we all expect Black to play first and White second, and thankfully Abstract Play allows a large degree of color customization. Here is a short guide to making the stones Black and White:
Click on the options button in the upper right
Scroll down to the bottom and click on Manage Palettes
- Type #000 (or another dark color you prefer) into the box, and click Add Colour
- Type #fff (or another light color you prefer) into the box, and click Add Colour
- Give the palette a descriptive name (“go-stones” in this example)
- Click Add Palette
- Scroll down and click Save Changes
Click on Manage Color Contexts

Select Light Mode or Dark Mode depending on which one you use (or you can set color contexts for both modes)
For Dark Mode, set Borders Around Most Pieces to #fff (or another light color you prefer)
You can also play around with the other settings here, if you like
Scroll down and click on Save Changes
For Light Mode, set Borders Around Most Pieces to #000 (or another dark color you prefer)
You can also play around with the other settings here, if you like
Scroll down and click on Save Changes
Exit back to the main site
Go to any game of Irensei (the one linked here, for example, but any will do)

At the bottom-right of the board, click on the option icon (the one on the far right that looks like a gear)
Set Choose Color Scheme to Custom, and select your custom palette from the dropdown
Set Where Would You Like These Colors Applied to For All Irensei Games
Scroll down and click on Save
Refresh the page
Congratulations! you should have Black and White stones now!
