Starting Colour

[kuzelnet]

Hello. I've First learnt cubing around 1 year ago.
Of course, I youtubed, how to solve it. Then I saw Dan Brown's REALLY basic LBL method.
After watching it I started practice.
So Basicly, I solve my Cross with Green.
But Most speed cubers uses White...
Should I change it to white?
Or stick with Green?

Change to blue.

Seriously though, there's no reason to switch to white... just because most other people use it. Use whatever color you are most comfortable with.

 

[Nukoca]

You should go color neutral... meaning you make the cross on whichever side takes the least amount of moves.

It's been scientifically proven that if you buy violet stickers, replace white with them, and solve cross on red, then you will break WRs.

It doesn't matter. E.g. Macky and Katsu uses blue cross.

I am color neutral. I choose the edges that made the cross(L shape, line) already or setup the edges faster.

 

[KubeKid73]

Why does everyone that learns from Dan Brown use green? I learned from him, but I've always used white. Just do whichever feels right to you, or become color neutral.

Being color neutral on cross make it 1 move shorter in average.

I don't know if it's a realy big optimisation.

I switched to white because all F2L tutorials were with white, and it made it a lot easier to understand.

I still use green cross. It is a hassle to follow some tutorials. I used to do printouts in black & white and color in the cubes for green bottom. I guess I'm just stubborn.

If you are already feeling comfortable with green, stick with it. It doesn't really matter what colour you use. You can even become colour neutral and use any colour for any solve.

Just stick to green. Previous WR holder, and soon to be again (GO SPEF!), Ville Seppanen uses green .

 

[James]

I use green because I chose it:

With green first, you solve blue last. Since blue is the darkest color, you can easily recognize the OLL pieces on the side and things like that.

 

[ThatGuy]

go with orange or red because almost no one solves it like that (except thrawst who seems to be color neutral)

 

[Jokerman5656]

go with beige or pink. those are what i start with

lol Erik did that didn't he?

It could have been a bigger picture.

I personally like jsut W/Y neutral, it gives you advanteges of being neutral while not having the disadvantage of color overload.
