Poll: Best Colour on the Rubik’s Cube

[CoderGuru]

Just wanted to know who thought what

 

[ProStar]

This seems like something that didn't need two separate threads. Red is my favorite since it is my favorite color overall

How could I put it on one thread? Just asking because I thought this was a bit spammy too

You forgot megaminx colors... I still like green/blue though, lol.

 

[CoderGuru]

You forgot mega colors... still green/blue though, lol.

Is a mega a rubik’s cube?

Whoops. Megaminx. I just call it mega sometimes.

No not that, I meant that does megaminx count as a Rubik’s CUBE?

I guess it's a matter of opinion. I mean, they both fall under the category of mechanical twisty puzzle.

Yeah I guess. I was making a bit of a joke out of that, didn’t want to list so many colours and also wanted to know the core colours opinio. Did a mini poll like this on discord a few years ago

That's true. Pink and purple be fire though...

I picked orange because it is my favorite color

 

[An Animating Cuber]

I put blue because it’s my favorite color but I’m considering red because it puts orange (objectively the worst color) in the back

Best colour ever

blue is objectively overrrated

The best cross colors are yellow, then orange, then green if you pick 1 color from each set of opposites.

This isn’t just some opinion piece either. This is based on color contrast.

With yellow cross, you get white LL with red-orange-green-blue as the side colors. This makes the LL stickers very distinct from the surrounding colors which can help with recognition.

Next up is orange cross. This gives red LL which again stands out and contrasts against all 4 of the surrounding colors.

Then between green and blue, you get 3 warm colors and white on the side so the inter color contrast isn’t as good. Blue is darker than green and this is better for a LL color to increase the contrast as much as possible.


In summary, black op white OO

This actually makes sense.

Yellow top, Blue front just looks so cool with these types of shades

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

can we all agree that qiyi's budget blue/red is the worst?

I like Qiyi's Blue though, it's a nice dark shade. Nothing notable good or bad about red though.

Edit: Didn't see you mention budget because I am blind, yes, I do agree on the blue, it's too bright. But better quality Qiyis have a nice blue

 

[OtaMota]

I think we're thinking of different colors, look at the qiyi warrior 3x3 or qidi 2x2.

Yeah, I updated my previous message. Qiyi MS colors are good though.
