checkerboard pattern
Two-tone square grid
A checkerboard pattern is an arrangement of squares in two alternating colors, typically black and white, where no two squares of the same color share an edge.
The design takes its name from the game board used for checkers and chess.
This high-contrast grid appears throughout design, architecture, and nature, from kitchen floors to racing flags to the markings on certain snakes.
The diner had classic checkerboard pattern linoleum.
