How many of you are color neutral?

[Jonathan0717]

I just don't know why not everyone is color neutral , is it because that most of the tutorials are using the white cross are what.

basically. And most people either don't realise/hear about full CN until later though feliks and mats did help popularising. I'm roux and I do X2 Y becuase it can be much harder inspecting for FB with full CN

Mats only solves blue I believe (it might be green actually)

He's dual blue green from what I remember

Oh wait. I meant rowe.

Dual Neutral (usual White/Yellow)
If you solve only one color you should try to become opposite neutral as it's not hard to switch.

 

[Aaron Lau]

dual colour isnt hard because the sides of the f2l and LL are basically the same

 

[NewCuber000]

I only solved on white for two years and about month ago i switched to two sided cross. It was really difficult because I waited so long (Sub-12). and after multiple attempts at learning full cplor neutrality I finally gave up and just did opposite colors .

I am colour neutral because I never listended to the beginner guides and started on other colours than white.

I am 2/3 color neutral. I can do yellow, white, blue and green crosses, but not red and orange.

Really? I feel like be quite easy for you to add the last two colours compared to those of us doing 1 or 2 colours.

My friend says that he does white, blue, and red which I've always found really weird since if you're already doing different F2L colours (which I find is the hardest part of switching to CN), you might as well be CN. I'd be interested to hear why you stick to only 4 colours.

 

[Lykos]

It's simple: I am in the process of becoming CN and I practiced a lot of green and blue, so now I can do blue and green well. I still have trouble with red and orange though. I hope that in a month, I will be able to do them equally well at all, but today I am still 5-10 seconds slower.

I've always been color neutral, since I first started cubing but I prefer solving the yellow cross first on large cubes, and solving the white, or orange cross first on 3x3

 

[Roux_god]

I`m a roux solver and I find it difficult to plan only 1 set of colors every solve. It`s very important to be color neutral in roux or you`ll be very confused.

to CN solvers: How do you look at all 6 potential crosses in 15 seconds? I do white/yellow and I have trouble fully planning my cross/comparing to see which is better

I'm not CN, but I've practiced it a bit and if you're good enough you can immediately narrow it down to two or three candidates at a quick glance. Kind of like on 2x2, you can tell which sides have potential and which sides will probably suck.

Like turtwig said, you can usually narrow down to 2-3 candidates in a second or two. Sometimes the easiest color is immediately obvious, and rarely all 6 are bad.

If an easy Xcross exists, I can usually spot it right away. If an easy cross exists I can usually spot it right away.

If two colors are close to each other in difficulty, I feel like generally one is better than the other and you can decide that. On rare occasions I plan out a (bad) cross, but then after 8 seconds realize another looked bad at first but is actually easy. In that case I do switch to the other cross. Something like that usually only happens once or twice per 100 solves.

Are you color neutral or not??? And if not, what do you like about not being color neutral? This applies to all puzzles. I personally am color neutral and love it. For the longest time I only did White though.

 

[applezfall]

yes and no ,I am cn on cfop but I am not on roux

 

[DGCubes]

As far as WCA events go, I'm only color neutral on 2x2, Pyraminx, and Skewb (and I guess Clock and FMC ).
I think being color neutral is absolutely the way to go and I wish I learned to be from the start, but I've never wanted to put in the effort to being color neutral on 3x3 since I'm so used to just doing green.
