What colour is your main speedcube?

[jayefbe]

Stickerless cubes are legal...if you dye them. They have softer plastic, allowing them to turn more smooth and have a wider range of corner cutting. This is stated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KymTVz12yvQ.

No they don't. Why would they make different batches of plastic for colored cubes and for stickerless cubes?

Eh, feel free to merge posts.

Light grey. I have a friend who has their cube like that, and trust me the grey contrasts with both the white stickers and the black cube.

Edit: here's a vid I found of someone with gray:

Yeah, I've been thinking about trying out grey, as well as other color schemes. Maybe someday when I have more time to fool around and a spare cube to experiment with. I'm used to my scheme right now.

All my mains are black, except for my Guhong v1 (my main 3x3).

pink. my recognition and look ahead is significantly worse on black cubes. with a white or yellow cube, my look ahead is only a little bit worse but thats just because im not used to it.

Interesting - what colour did you start out with? At what stage did you switch to pink?

My first speedcube was black (Guhong 2), then I bought a white Zhanchi and found my F2L recognition suffered, and I've since stuck with black.

Current main(s) are a black 55mm ZhanChi and a black FangShi Shuang Ren.

Black for everything. I can solve on white fine though as long as it has either izo half-brights or cubesmith half-brights with bright orange.

I think it's when he got his pink guhong v1.



My main is a Black MoYu Huanying or White Guhong v2 for 2H. Black Modded Zhanchi without torpedoes for OH. Black Modded Shengshou Megaminx. Those are the only events I practise
I think I'll be switching back to white.

for the first month or so, i used a black rubik's cube. then my main speed cubes were white until i was about mid 18 seconds. i switched to pink around late april of this year.

actually, i got the guhong about 5 or 6 months before i made it my main. it isnt even really a v1 any more, i put torpedoes in it and did a bunch of other stuff to it.

I should try a pink cube, they look good.

they're sexy ! the pink of a shengshou is way nicer than the pink of a dayan though. if i put my 3x3 next to my 7x7, the 3x3 looks like a greyish pink.

Doesn't a cube's color affect something other than lookahead? I've read that the plastic is lighter in white cubes or something like that, but I've never been able to notice. As far as lookahead, I tend to be better with black simply because I'm used to it but I could easily transition back to white.

 

[BrainOfSweden]

As of now, my main is a black GuHong v2, but before that, I used a white Alpha V-f, and if the HuanYing is as good as everyone says, I'll have a white main again any day now. I honestly don't care much about that, and I've found that sticker shades makes a much bigger difference, so I just like to keep a somewhat even mix between black and white cubes, depending on what color I think looks best on that very cube. FYI my main 2x2 is white, previous one was black, I've just ordered a black 4x4, and I'm getting a white pyra today.

 

[Gordon]

I mostly use black ones, but my times are more or less equally bad on all colors.

 

[Frubix]

2x2 Black
3x3 Black
4x4 Black
5x5 White
6x6 White
Pyraminx White
Megaminx Black
Square-1 Black

My mains are a Black ZC and a White WL proto, so both

As for other events than 3x3, everything is black except for 7x7

 

[windhero]

My 3x3 is Milky., all the rest black. If I could have all my puzzles milky I would be so happy.

 

[n00bCube]

My main is white. I don't really have a preference between black and white as far as 3x3's are concerned.

Personally I think certain puzzles look better in white and others better in black, so I basically have a mixture of black and white puzzles.
