Im colour neutral on practically all puzzles and it is very useful as it makes cross alot easier as you have a choice of six rather than one cross to do and same goes for first two centers on 4x4x4. I don't really see the point in instruction guides saying "solve a white cross" what difference does it make to someone solving it for the first time if the cross is white or not, it just hinders it for them later on. If anyone can switch to being colour neutral then well done to them because I gave up switching to cross on bottom
 
I'm colour neutral on everything, I just think it's more fun and less repetitive than solving the same colour every time, that's basically why I learnt it. I think it is useful on big cubes as you can't choose the best centre at the start. Although it did lead to a lot of opposite swapped centres when I started in on 4x4 :p
 
I feel like most people are CN on Pyra and skewb, and at least quite a few would be CN on 2x2. I'm CN on 3x3, learned when I was averaging around 25 and got down to low 20's after a few weeks. Even though by PB is white cross, my averages have been very low proportionally to the best singles in my average because most scrambles have a cross that can be solved faster than the white cross.
Big cubes and I don't get along and using Yau I feel like CN would slow new down too much to be worth it.
 
I only solve 3x3 and I'm color neutral. I learned it when I was sub 30 and it took 2 weeks for me. It probably doesn't save much time, but it feels a lot better to be able to solve any color compared to just the white cross only I was taught.
 
I'm color neutral on everything except for 4x4(Yau) and megaminx. I was white cross only for 9 months after learning, but I recently switched to being color neutral and I just got my average back to where it was before.
Color neutrality really helps on small puzzles like pyra, skewb, and 2x2. I don't know how much it is worth it on larger puzzles, but I am glad that I made the switch.
 
Woaj. I'm color neutral and am actually surprised how many ppl are only single color. Solve on opposite, it's a good compromise.
 
Colour neutral in 2x2 skewb pyra clock and order neutral in megaminx (and everything else), though I always do EO CCW.
On 3x3/OH, I always solve with white on the bottom and blue on the front, but I'm fine if I accidentally set it green front.
I can do Red/Orange front but I'm only average 15ish. I've tried Yellow bottom, but not seriously. I really should be x2-y2 neutral, which is really easy to be.
On big cubes and 3x3 CFOP I'm dual CN if I remember to be.

I think it's mostly because all the tutorials out there teach you to solve white cross. Then you don't learn better until it's kind of too late.
 
White/yellow for FreeFOP (although I'll do other colours if there're easy blocks) and x2 y2 for ZZ but heavily biased towards white-top green-front. Mostly CN on 2×2×2, but with a bias towards white/yellow because I can't do CLL recognition on other colours.

For mega I'm (partially) order neutral on S2L and can do either of two colours for F2L, which is a pretty weird form of colour neutrality, I guess. Maybe I should work on full CN lol.
