I was color neutral from the beginning and I am still color neutral, on every single cube I have.
 
Would a method like HTA count as opposite color neutral? I always use top/bottom as black/yellow, left/right is green/red and front/back it orange/blue. I know I don't use standard color scheme, and I use textured tiles, but I like it that way. The method I use is the first 3 steps of HTA, then switch over to Orient First. I normally solve F2l with yellow on bottom, but I will sometimes use black. Would this just be considered biased opposite color nuetrality?

What is the difference between failing to become color neutral and not sticking with it? Should that not be the same option because they are basically the same?

I turned cn recently and strictly speaking i don't really think i learnt colour neutrality. Rather i just got used to the colour schemes. If you gave me a cube with another colour scheme on it i'd probably have difficulty with my recog.
 
I am not CN for the ZZ method, nor have I tried, it just messes me up when figuring out EO, so I skipped it and just go for Blue/Green Front and Yellow/White Top.
 
I started as color neutral nearly four years ago, and have never stopped. It came naturally to me, and I have no problems with it at all. However, for BLD I do use one orientation, and I tend to solve blue on Japanese color scheme, although it's not always the case.
 
Cool thing happened to me. (from accomplishment thread)

edit: tried out my standardsolution, wouldve left me with OLL skip and Lperm anyway :/
 
So... it turns out my yellow cross has been about a second slower than my white cross this whole time. Possibly because my default is white on 4x4. anyway, I switched back to just white cross and my times have become WAY more consistent, and I'm now averaging low 11s high 10s instead of high 11s low 12s. Yay for improvement!
