What Color Cross Do You Solve and Why?

[deKeijzer]

I solve white first because they are the easiest for me to recognize.
But if yellow clearly has a faster cross I`ll use yellow, thats the transition I can make without having troubles.

I always start on white. I use Fridrich so when I am doing my C/E pairs I like to stay on the same color color scheme. I've tried the cross on other colors and it is very difficult to do it IMHO. They also stick out (they contrast the other colors well).

Although I kind of wish that I was taught that way ( I learned from Thrawst).

i learned to solve it with white and i alsow spot the pices faster. i know yellow is on top and i recognise the olls and plls cases faster that way. if somebody else started solving the cube on a different color i always have to look longer to find the right algo.

I use white. It stands out. Easy to find during F2L.

 

[hait2]

i use blue. i forget why, but i don't regret it at all because white is such an easy color to have on the top since in f2l i can focus on just the "things that have colors" so to say. and plus if i ever get around to learning oll's, white sticks out so it will be easy recognition. i'm not too worried about instant cross recognition, i my 15seconds

edit: i should clarify i use japanese color scheme

I do White, purely because in my eyes it stands out the most.

I always do the cross on the white face. When i first started learning how to do a Rubik's Cube, I started on that side because it had the logo. If i go to another side ts start the cross, my mind gets confused with colors.

I use white cross, b/c when i learned how to solve, my friend told me it was more efficent, and you can recgonize it a lot easier. :>

Color cross?

Color neutral

 

[Specs112]

White

 

[Cubenovice]

White obviously; it is common knowledge that white crosses lead to faster solves

 

[cubernya]

Currently, I don't

When I voted, I was CN

 

[VincentLombardo]

I chose red early in my cubing adventure. Perhaps it 'stuck out' more. Every student I have taught has switched to red. Although I think I'm apart of little group of red cross solvers, I don't think it matters what color as long as the color is easy for your eyes to examine for lookahead..

Only if you're used to white. I use white, but thats only because badmephisto said it would be quickest. I wish I'd listened to Dan Brown (who taught me) and stayed CN. Its too late and time consuming to switch back now.

 

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

I'm ALMOST fully CN, but I still have quite a heart for yellow.

YELLOW ALL THE WAY, BABY!! XD

I only chose that color because most of other single color cubers use white. I wanted to be a little out-of-the-ordinary, but still avoid having trouble spotting colors just because the color wasn't bright enough. That was a stupid thing to think though. I should have known better and started the road to color neutrality WAY before I actually started it.

 

[HeyCuber]

I originally learned to solve green. Then after a 3-year break I switched to white. Now I'm colour neutral.

white, it had the pretty logo on it.
