Black plastic or white plastic?

[Faran]

A lot of discussion about this. It seems to be 50/50. There will probably be a lot of replies to this thread.

For example the V-Cube 7. I think the white one looks much better then the black one.

Ever since I got my V-Cube 5, which was my first white cube, I've preferred them. I think white cubes are much more colorful and more pleasant looking then black ones.

Also I think it's kind of stupid of people saying that white cubes handle better then black cubes or the other way around. It just doesn't make sense that the color of the plastic would make a cube handle differently. :fp

Anyway. What do you prefer? Black plastic or White plastic?

Well, it does make sense that white cubes and black cubes would be different. White plastic would tend to be more "pure" and high quality because in black plastic, you could mix plastics and you wouldn't be able to see, while white cubes, difference in plastics would be really easy to see. But I liek white cubes more than black cubes for the look.

I think white looks better, but recognition is slightly better with black.

 

[avgdi]

Definitely black cubes for me.

I don't think there really a difference in Black or White cubes but just color. Some people might say there is but maybe I just don't see it. I prefer White cubes only for 4x4 and 7x7 and 2x2(but can care less about 2x2 color) all my other cubes are black

It doesn't really matter to me, but I prefer black cubes because I'm already used to it.

I use black 2x2-4x4, and White V-Cubes.

Errr.. Wrong!
It is exaclty the opposite, it takes a muuuuuch higher pigment loading to make a plastic "pure white" than it takes to make it black.

Some people say the contrast between the stickers and the cube on black cubes is more. I still use white cubes though. By the way, I'm pretty sure there has been at least one thread on this before.

Fix'd.

i need black for recognition on the 3x3, but other than that it doesn't make a difference. I prefer white for bigger cubes purely because it makes the colors slightly easier to see(at least for me).
and for the record, i think my green sq-1 looks better than any of my black or white cubes

I prefer white cubes for 5-7 and black for 2 and 3.

 

[Tentacius]

I definately prefer black plastic, I have much better lookahead on it. At a time i only bought white which is kind of annoying now :/

My 5x6-7x7 V-Cubes are white but I'm looking to get a black 5x5 and 7x7 ...

 

[Eleredo]

White for the win. All of my cubes are white, except for my megaminx which I didn't know was offered in white on Lightake - worst part: I discovered the white one just after the black one was shipped. Ah well, looking at the white megaminx on Lightake, I realize the megaminx doesn't look as good in white as it does in black. But for cubes; all white, from my 2x2 to my 5x5.

 

[dchambee11]

I definitely prefer white cubes

 

[uberCuber]

have been many threads on this before..but i like white cubes much more..i think they look better

 

[Faran]

have been many threads on this before..

Yes, that sounds reasonable. But I didn't want to go through all of those searched pages just to look for a topic about this. There came a lot of other ones not concerning this. (On the Internet, I get kinda lazy...)

 

[davidgreece]

Most people like black cubes because they first get black cubes from Rubik's Cubes but i recently used a white cube and i found i could still look ahead after adjusting to the colour

 

[Daniel Wu]

It doesn't really make a difference to me anymore but I prefer black.
