What color do you use for cross?

[Carson]

Seems like pretty much everyone uses white or is color neutral, but I'm sure there are a few out there like me that are nonconformists... I use green.

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.

Right now, it's yellow and white at about 20 seconds. Blue at about 30 seconds.
Other colors about 40 seconds. I hope to eventually ditch Fridrich and be color neutral.

I had to vote other. You don't have an opposite cross option. Or option to select more than one color without being "I am color Neutral!!! "

And the point of this game was to solve all cubes right? I can see how it could cause trouble. Now what if everyone used different colors? The one color that wasn't started on was white. That would throw me off.

Are you going to be Petrus and color neutral?

I hope, but EO recognition is difficult even without being color neutral.

Neutral. Always have been, since day 1.

It was made even more fun by the fact that our group consisted of three Fridrich and two Roux solvers, so the last layer stage took forever. It took us a while to realize that Dan was trying to get a green cross on his cube. Later the green cross somehow morphed into a red cross. Not sure how that happened.

YAY, another green user, haha. =]

I use green, always have, and probably always will.

No it isn't.

I bet Dan got pretty annoyed when his cube got back to him and his cross was destroyed every single time.

I use white because it is bright and jumps out at you so it is easy to recognize and memorize them quickly when studying.

 

[slncuber21]

i use white most of the time but i will use blue and try out other colors every once in awhile...

i want to become neutral tho. it would help with the speed concept

It saves you about 1 move on the cross step, according to LarsV's study.

And why isn't there an opposite color (white/yellow, etc.) option?

 

[CAT13]

I use green. I have always used it because that is what the instruction manual I used said to make cross on. I have tried to switch so that I could use white as cross, but I have always failed in doing so.

 

[hdskull]

There is another thread about this, but...

I solve white cross ~15 average. I sometimes solve yellow, if white will take too long and the yellow cross is blatantly obvious. The percentage is like 96%/4% white/yellow.

I used to be color neutral when I was in the high 30s, but I do not practice that anymore. When I solved Japanese scheme, I'm ~20ish, so still not too bad, haha.

Shelley: did you guys end up solving the 5 cubes? haha.

 

[Todd]

White - unless i can see a really easy Yellow cross.

I have tried other colors - but i seem to get confused when i get to putting in C/E pairs

 

[ooveehoo]

I use white or yellow. Both are easy to recognize.

 

[Andreaillest]

Seems like I'm the only one who uses blue.

 

[brunson]

I've always been color neutral and never regretted it and never had a problem with it, but now I'm looking at learning COLL and I'm wondering if it's going to make a difference in recognition.
