I suppose the presence of Red and White Queens in Through the Looking Glass suggests that sets once were in those colors, but maybe it's just that Lewis Carroll happened to have a red and white set circa 1860. I have two nice sets from around 1950, one Staunton and one Florentine, and they are black and white. Well, the blacks are jet black, but the Staunton white is stained blond wood and the Florentine white wants to look like ivory.
On the other hand, I think checkers are still predominantly red and white, and I see you can buy red and white Chess sets, as well as green, multicolor, crystal, metal, and other colors that would drive chess players crazy. (Most players wouldn't like my Florentine set with its 11th century replica statues.) Maybe the best answer is simply that Staunton black and white chess sets are most recognizable and appealing to the eye.

What color is the back right corner on a chess board?
When you start a chess game, the bottom right corner SHOULD be a light square. If it is dark, you're actually playing on a checker board, so you'll need to rotate the board 90 degrees. Remember the saying in chess: 'white on right, queen on colour.' A checkerboard is the opposite of a chessboard. The lower right hand square is a dark square.
