The white queen starts on d1, while the black queen starts on d8. With the chessboard oriented correctly, the white queen starts on a white square and the black queen starts on a black square -- thus the mnemonics "queen gets her color '', "queen on (her) (own) color '', or "the dress (queen piece) matches the shoes (square) '' (Latin: servat rēgīna colōrem).
