Color neutral. I started using white first, and later i found out that using yellow is more or less similar to white, so I started becoming white/yellow neutral. Then i was inspired by Feliks' color neutrality. Hence I started practising color neutral. And now I am one, haven't even reached sub 15 though...
 
White/Yellow... because its natural for me. Can color neutral but slows me down by about 4-5 seconds so not going to put time into that. I think that two colors gives you plenty of opportunities.

Also.. HAHA green comes in as 2nd most popular single color... well done pogobat.
 
I use red cross because it's the colour I see the best. I find it interesting that not every one has the same perception of colours ex: some have a hard time differentiating red and orange but for me, the problem is white and yellow
 
White...
Because that's the way my beginner videos showed xD
I'm going to stick with that for now and hopefully move to CN at a later date.
 
Don't stick with one colour for now. The earlier you start being CN, the easier it is.

Begin solves using one more colour until I'm comfortable?

Or just straight away start looking for the easiest cross?

:)
 
Theres a few ways of becoming colour neutral I solved different sides until i felt comfortable usually about a week, I did this on all sides and now i can solve on any. But you could try looking for the easiest because that is what colour neutral is all about.

Try looking for the easiest cross. That is why people are colour neutral - to have easier crosses. To begin with, give yourself more inspection time to let you look at all 6 colours; with practise, you'll be able to do it faster.
If you really don't like that, start doing yellow for a while. It's quite similar to doing just white. Then go on to another pair of opposites (e.g. red/orange), then onto the last two (e.g. blue/green). But the first way is definitely better; because you haven't been cubing for long you shouldn't find it as difficult as you would if you were to start later.

E: also, answering the original question, I don't do crosses.

I solve the white cross because when I started cubing people said "Start from the white face". I've tried doing the yellow one, but my f2l becomes too bad.
 
I am solve the white cross. I'm not color neutral because I am too lazy and it is hard at my speed. Also, I can see benefits from solving only on white, as I think I can recognize better and just get better instincts for white. Also, on 4x4 using yau, I think it is better without color neutrality.
