What Color Cross Do You Solve and Why?

[sneaklyfox]

The wavelengths of yellow and green are towards the center of the visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV). They are factually easiest for the human eye to detect. This is why road-workers wear green/yellow uniforms with white reflective strips.

Red and purple are slightly more difficult to identify, especially in low light situations.

The effect on cubing would be minimal presumably, but still potentially existent.

Actually I see a lot of orange uniforms with yellow or white strips. I figure whatever stands out in the road is best. Pylons are usually orange. I've never seen green uniforms. And I find yellow/white most difficult to discern in low light situations while red/orange is easiest because their shades contrast more.

Interesting, I find white/yellow very easy to discern in low light, while I constantly mistake red and orange.

thecubicle half brights. Red is darker while orange is brighter. White and yellow are both bright...

That's why I prefer vcube's color scheme. Yellow vs black.

I use black cubes. On the only white cube I have, I have black stickers but then I have a harder time discerning between black/blue.

Try sky blue.

What color first block?

A few days ago, I was bored and started messing around with japanese color scheme (switching yellow and blue) on my old lingyun. On american I can do white and yellow, but I almost always do white. On Japanese I've been practicing blue cross and it's gone pretty horrible thus far but I'm optimistic. Right off the bat, I think I like the color scheme.

What color first block?

I start with white blue or white green block ( white on bottom and green or blue on the left.)

You should try being W/Y neutral. It's when you can have any first block as long as white or yellow is on the bottom. I'm W/Y neutral.

Green ftw

 

[Smiles]

started: green because dan brown told me to do it
learning: white because it's the only colour there that's not part of the rainbow
after a long time: colour neutral because it's super cool

for roux i'm W/Y neutral

 

[StachuK1992]

White/Yellow neutral.

 

[ravenguild08]

White or yellow, whichever has an easier cross. I can never remember BOY and how the four side colors are located relative to each other, so white and yellow are functionally equivalent to me.
In ZZ, I do a yellow EOLine.

 

[IQubic]

I use ZZ. So, no cross, however i always solve with yellow top, blue front.

 

[Renslay]

White, but I'm trying switch to red.

COLOUR NEUTRALITY IS IN MY BLOOD.
