Favorite piece-set/board combination?

What are your favorite piece-set/board combinations?

I used the default for a long time which is clear and simple.
Right now I am enjoying pirouetti/blue2. Feels like i got a new chess-set :-)
Alpha on Purple-Diagonal. The Alpha pieces seem normal to me, and I can distinguish pawns from bishops readily. Purple-Diagonal is easy on my eyes and the moved-from / moved-to square highlight colors are easily distinguished from the board colors.
Pieces reillycraig- board theme pink
The pink and lemon squares together with the head-held-high horses and cobweb queens of the piece set make for a great Spanish vibe. Otb, I like mid-century Spanish chess sets (like those made by Escardibul, Indajesa and Marigo from 1920-1980) and reillycraig/pink is kind of close.
My modified version of Horsey on board theme olive

Edit: to mix it up sometimes I use a piece set from userstyles called "Lichess Pieces (With Shadows)" and a custom board called "Denim" - which is also a nice combination
I love leipzig style pieces, they are deeply classic.
