Tilted Corners in Integer Grids

It was proved by Ron Graham and the second author that for any coloring of the $N \times N$ grid using fewer than $\log \log N$ colours, one can always find a monochromatic isosceles right triangle, a triangle with vertex coordinates $(x, y),(x + d, y),$ and $(x, y + d).$ In this paper we are asking questions where not only axis-parallel, but tilted isosceles right triangles are considered as well. Both colouring and density variants of the problem will be discussed.
