Monochrome monitors are pretty rare these days. In fact, I don't think I've ever set my eye on one since the 1990s. So, I think your color scheme would work fine. If you're really worried about it, you could tweak the shades of the colors so monochrome displays show them in distinctive shades of grey.

Other than that, the only thing I'd say is that pieces on the board should have their moves on the table shaded green, just like the Absentees. If you think they should be differentiated, then perhaps cyan would do.

And did you make any changes to the piece selection list? A couple dozen of them seem to have vanished, including several that I was relying on for Short Sliders.
