[TheMachanga]

Does color neutral help you? Did it come natural to you guys or did you have to practice it?

natural to me.

 

[Ranzha]

I was.
Now, alas, I am not.
Now, I'm going to get a miniC, sticker it with random colours, and become colour neutral.

 

[Edward_Lin]

I am

 

[Zane_C]

I'm not, but I'm starting to practice with blue cross, (I normally use green).
After I've mastered green and blue at the same level, I may look into colour neutral.

Tristan Wright (a.k.a Thrawst on youtube) is color neutral.

That's known as partial colour neutral. I'm also it.

Haixu Zhang. I believe he is about the same speed as Feliks. I heard he did a sub-9 avg 12, not sure though. But definitely had a low 9 avg 12.

 

[Dene]

I am.

About 3 months ago I committed myself to become fully color neutral and these days I practice starting on different colors on a regular basis.

I found that after you get over the initial scare, it becomes natural very quickly and it's a lot of fun!

My main ambition is to get a fully color neutral average of 12 on video (doing 2 solves on each color) that is close to my normal average (15s).

I am completely colour neutral with every puzzle and I always have been. I've tried always starting with the same colours but it just feels odd. Also, using Petrus, it's far easier to make use of good cases if you are colour neutral. I average around 17-18 at home on an average day, but sometimes it's as high as 22 (usually on a competition day ) or as low as 15/16 (never on a competition day )

I think you misunderstand the point of being colour neutral. Either that, or you are going about proving it to yourself in completely the wrong way. If I get 10 crosses on white in an average of 12, I'm still colour neutral. White just happens to stick out to me in those 10 solves.
Forcing yourself to use a particular colour on a particular solve is not being colour neutral.
Finding a cross that looks nice to you and being able to solve it, whichever colour it happens to be, without that particular colour having a positive or negative effect in general on your solving times, is being colour neutral.

That's true actually! Unless Lars means that it would be the "perfect" colour neutral average if he just happened to solve 2 of each colour in an average of 12....?
