I'm Colour neutral on the 3x3. Most people use white but i use yellow because all my cubes got that color and around 3/4 got white. For pyraminx there I'm not Colour neutral.

you understand that color neutral means that you start with any color?

o wow lol, i just realized that part of his post. But yes, doing your cross on yellow every time does not make you color neutral. Color neutrality means to start your cross on the side which has the fewest moves to a cross.

ya, i think i did word that a little strangely. I meant to say just to go with the easiest cross.

I'm not CN on pyraminx.
The only puzzle I'm completely CN on is 2x2, and it's likely to stay that way.

I know, i just cant seem to word it right. any1 wanna try?
how about "does the first step of his/her method on whatever damn side they want to"?
anyway, any recommendations for how to LEARN to be CN? thus far ive just seen that its easiest to be CN from the start, but i didnt start out CN so i want to know how to become color neutral.
right now ive just made a 2nd cubemania account for color neutrality, and i avg like 20-25 seconds slower than i do normally. except for with red crosses im like 10-15 seconds slower than the usual 25. and im the worst on green crosses. i dont know why though, maybe my hatred for dan browns method psychologically slows down my green crosses.
or maybe im part plant, i absorb red and reflect green.

CN gives you the ability to start a cross on any side (or start with any colours for 2x2/1x2x3/whatever) but it doesn't mean you have to start with the easiest cross.

Color Neutrality means that for any method, you can start step 1 of your method on any side. That's enough.
I'm opposite neutral in Fridrich (I can start my cross on either White or Yellow) but I can't do that in Roux (always Orange-Blue-Red-White 1x2x3...if that's clear.)
In megaminx and 2x2x2 I am completely neutral.

I can't help it, but I'm neutral at it. I am slow at megaminx (5-9 minutes...SLOW) but I'm neutral at it.

I wouldn't bother, the gains are minimal, if any.
