Maybe something that doesn't rely so heavily on text? Chess pieces: graphic, photo, fanciful.

Except chess pieces in their classic designs are a Palette Swap (white and black); as shown in the first two suggestions. The third, while depicting this trope, isn't the classic design for chess pieces.

[up]Well, they're still designed differently in that particular set, and knowing it is just plain chess gives the knowledge that they're both the same anyway.

Chess is a rather loose examples, since they're just palette swapped. A better comparison would be the Chinese Chess, where they name the parallels between black and red differently—sometimes just different characters, sometimes different terms (e.g. general and marshall). CMIIW.

The Robin Hood Chess Set is not a Palette Swap.
