❔ Wpf chess board problem

Hello! Im trying to color a chess board. I have a bunch of border tags for the squares. I think it can be inferred from the screenshots what im trying to do. Yes i know this ain't the best way of writing this code but my main focus is to have something working, then i can refactor later as needed. I'm stuck trying to color the odd numbered squares. I dont know how to write the syntax for coloring the odd numbered squares. I've been googling for the past hours trying to figure it out, but alas i couldn't figure it out 😕 I would really appreciate some help should anyone be so kind as to extend this newb a hand. Thank you very much!

Take a look at this example and let me know if you need any clarifications:

for (int index = 0; index < BorderGrid.Children.Count; index++)
{
    if (BorderGrid.Children[index] is Border border)
    {
        Color color;

        if (index % 2 == 0)
        {
            //odd color
            color = Colors.Black;
        }
        else
        {
            //even color
            color = Colors.Red;
        }

        border.Background = new SolidColorBrush(color);
    }
}

for (int index = 0; index < BorderGrid.Children.Count; index++)
{
    if (BorderGrid.Children[index] is Border border)
    {
        Color color;

        if (index % 2 == 0)
        {
            //odd color
            color = Colors.Black;
        }
        else
        {
            //even color
            color = Colors.Red;
        }

        border.Background = new SolidColorBrush(color);
    }
}
