The How to color.
Begin with the trademark clippered locks of Ron, going lighter and darker, to include texture. Those robes may be deep black but with red-and-gold Gryffindor on the scarf or trim. The wizard chess pieces should be a statement pairing- a heavy contrast color-typically black and white, though metallic gold and silver, or rich red and emerald green would give the appearance of magic. Highlight the pieces to make them three dimensional, with shadows cast on raised weapons, and armor edges. The chessboard may be cream and dark brown or black squares with warm edges made of wood. The setting can be homeland in its warm colors- burgundy chairs, candle-lit golden glow, and warm wood-toned tables. To add magic, metallic gel pens on the chessmen armor, sword blades and crowns make them sparkly as real magic.
