How many of you are color neutral?

[RobertFontaine]

Color neutral may not make you faster but it will at least add some interest to solving the puzzle.
Like learning multiple methods. It will keep things fresh for a while longer before the cubes start gathering dust somewhere.

Everyone is CN except Walker Welch

I started as color neutral, I moved to opposite colors when I started to speed up.

 

[Nilsibert]

I'd love to, but I'll never be CN. I can't even solve on yellow really. 10 years ago when I learned how to solve 3x3, white cross just seemed mandatory in a sense. Even as a kid when I could just do one side, it was always white. I'm thinking about practising yellow tho, but I'd dare to say CN is pretty much impossible at this point.

Cornelius Dieckmann #5 in the world is only opposite color neutral(yellow and white) Mats Valk #3 in the world and #1 best single is also only opposite color neutral again(blue and green cross). I've said this before, but the more videos I see of top cubers the more i'm convinced that being completely color neutral is only good if you want to shave off 0.0001 seconds. It's really not worth it. It's absolutely possible and probably easier/more efficient to achieve great times being only opposite neutral.

Saying it can be equally as good is all well and good, but you literally have no evidence to suggest it's better. Come back when you have that k.

CN FTW yeah

You're welcome.

 

[ottozing]

Once again, you literally have no evidence to suggest its better. 3x3 single is luck based to an extent believe it or not.

EDIT: I'll put it in a way which you can understand better

You're welcome.

White cross solver here I guess you can be sub 10 doing only white cross? or a single color!

of course

I am color neutral

That guy was joking. Walker is color neutral anyway.

Cornelius only solves white. Never yellow.

Having a fixed orientation helps you more at the beginning because it takes less time to get used to. It may be easier to get to sub 12 or somewhere with a single color, but I believe that it's easier to become the best in the world at 2x2 and 3x3 being color neutral.

Since I'm mostly into big cubes, I decided that being color neutral on 3x3 was more trouble than it was worth for me, so I chose white/yellow and I'm happy with that. Not being color neutral did make fast recognition easier to learn, and those recognition skills transfer to solving centers and stuff. I think the (slight) improvement to my recognition in general helps my 5x5+ times more than being color neutral on the 3x3 stage would. Being fully color neutral on Yau is also not considered by most to be a good idea. Feliks and Jayden are both only white/yellow on Yau despite being CN on 3x3. I think dual color is ideal for people interested primarily in 4x4 and up.

 

[Sunnymelisa]

Usually white but starting yellow now.

 

[ttran9235]

i am

 

[pdilla]

Green/blue cross here...

 

[cashis]

i'm color neautral

 

[AlexTheEmperor]

Green as taught from the official rubik's cube solution guide.
Blue since it is a nice compromise before I start transitioning to colour neutrality.

E: Is there some customisability in the spell checker because UK cubers may be annoyed that the spelling: 'colour' is highlighted as wrong.

 

[MM99]

I solve Blue front yellow top only (ZZ) so do I just vote one color or other?

 

[DarkCuberXX]

Im not color neutral.
i dont think its going to be a big improvemend on my times.
What i can learn is to do white and yellow. its easyer to do white and yellow ( if u always used white, if u always used red than is leaning orange not that hard)
