Chessboard style

Just for mere curiosity, I was wondering what colours and pieces you have on your chessboard
My board is the second blue in the first row
And pieces are the first of the 3rd row
I use the same board as you do (shaded blue) and uses the piece set of the one that looks like different shapes.
Left to right:
Pieces are 2nd of the first row ("Merida", characterised by its smirking Knight pieces).
I change the board out a lot, but my favourites are the light-wooden one (4th on second row) and the purple board for when I want to use the dark theme (4th on 4th row).
I exclusively use the dark theme.

I find the grey and dark grey board suits it (I think I'm using the 3rd on the 4th row).

Pieces have to be the conservative Staunton style, 2nd of the 1st row.
Custom everything. I switch it up a lot, but here's my current one:

I also use dark theme with the same board as Cynosure (3rd on 4th row). I use the Alpha set (3rd on 1st row); it just feels the most crisp and clean.
Can't stop changing it. For boards, the fritz wood, green, brown, or blue. For pieces either default (wikipedia style), alpha, merida, or fritz.

Here's a sample of one setup (thanks to lichess and DIA for graphics):
