What color do you make your cross with?

My thoughts exactly. Most people have good intentions. I would rather an old thread be revived than have a duplicate thread created. Oh... White on bottom for cross, yellow on top.

Green. I read this article in a science journal about green being the easiest color for the human eye to recognize. Oh, and why would you switch from being color neutral to just one color?

That is so stupid. Green, orange, and red are the worst color for me to recognize. For my next cube, I plan on replacing green with black to become 2/3 color neutral.

Yeah, I don't really think it's true, I just use it still 'cause I started on it.

It might be true.
In the US at least, all the traffic signs are green.
(Personally, white seems like it would be easiest to see, seeing as it's the lightest color, but I learned starting with white, so that probably just me.)

i think people make it with white becuase the original cubes had the white face as the most important becuase of the logo and the fact that face always was upright in the box.
i use blue becuase its my favouite colour

Source please?
Reason from switching from color neutral to not color neutral? You don't spend as much time recognizing and planning your cross if you're always looking for the same color. People who are color neutral may get to pick the best cross, but they have to spend time evaluating every color to determine which one is the best. It's a tradeoff.

I solve green on the bottom myself. Plus once I get it "off" the cube I dont have as many problems mixing up blue and green on the cube later.

I look for whatever has the most edges that are ready to be put into the cross, then solve that color on the bottom, but that's for when I do the Fridrich method. I use Petrus more often.

I certainly don't. A quick glimpse and usually one just stands out. I think I look for edges already oriented on the same or opposite face.

I used to do green all the time because if I didn't, I would mess up. But now all 6 sides are the same.

Wow. Thanks. That seems credible at least. Okay, cool, now I feel more comfortable about not taking the time to switch.

i've been using white only for my cross. recently, i've been trying to add yellow crosses to my repertoire if i can't see an easy white cross. it still takes me 1-3 seconds longer when i use a yellow cross.

White is commonly used for CFOP.Right?

I think it's what Jessica Fredrich uses, so yeah.
