What color do you use for cross?

[ben1996123]

I'm colour neutral, I used to start on green, but after I started cubing again after a 6 month break, I just was colour neutral.

Green cross ftw.

I wouldn't say i conformed to doing white. I do white because when i picked up a cube for the first time and tried to solve it i kept the logo on the top because i was thinking i should look at it or something, then i learned more advanced ways of doing it on the bottom and such i tried to do green once and it was such a bad solve no joke.

Red or Orange.

 

[vrumanuk]

Black
Opposite color neutral.

Green since the green on my cube is like lime greenish and easy to recognise.

Dan Knights uses green cross. It made for a fun (read: confusing) game of "do one move and pass the cube" with 5 people and 5 cubes.

I wish I'd been there for that. I use green cross too (thanks to Dan), but I back it up with the fact that the natural wavelength for the human eye to receive is a greenish color.

Interesting...What an old thread! (dates brings nostalgia).
I am color neutral. I remember when I watched Dan Brown's (Pogobat) tutorial...dang that was a long time ago. He suggested being color neutral. I have been ever since.
Is that a bad thing? Is it easier to choose white/opp. cross only? I've heard it helps with F2l recognition and stuff, but I've tried it, and I always get owned by like a half-formed orange cross...meh

I recommend only one color. That way you know what to look for in inspection.

Voted white but actually on my speedcube I have black and not white at all

It only takes me about 4-5 seconds to pick which cross. 6-7 on a really tough scramble. I rarely look for the first pair, as I tend to notice it easier while finishing the cross.


Also, guys like Rowe Hessler and Jason Thong seem to manage

What about me Hadley?

Yeah CN ftw.

 

[El Veintitres]

Wow I guess I'm the least common. I use two color, red and orange.

 

[mcciff2112]

There should be an option for opposite color neutral. I normally solve white cross but I'll solve yellow if it's really easy.

 

[SparkZer00]

I'm partially color neutral, but most of the time I use blue

however, I use the japanese color scheme...

 

[panyan]

wow, 13 of us blue crossers!

 

[Engberg]

I vote Other.
Beacuse Black wasn't an option^^

 

[xXdaveXsuperstarXx]

I am willing to say that color neutral is not as good as one cross. You have been tricked! Color neutral only helps on the cross. It also helps to slow down F2L (color neutral only is works decently with beginners method, using it with Fridrich is highly un-recommended).

@dave,

This has been discussed to death. A) If your choice of color slows you down, then you aren't actually color neutral. B) If you are not and never have been color neutral then you are not qualified to discuss whether color neutrality is better or not.

Thank you! I think I can manage fine. I always get distracted when trying not to be color neutral anyway...
