What color do you use for cross?

[ConnorCuber]

I use Yellow mostly, but if the cross is really easy, I can use white.

I voted other, but I really use dual solving, http://www.speedcubing.com/chris/ec-oc.html The math alone was what persuaded me to do it.

I'm the only red solver apparently.

Story behind that: when I started cubing I did white on bottom, following a beginner's tutorial. But I soon realized that all my white stickers were wearing off because I was using them more, so I switched to red arbitrarily to balance things out.

I'm slowly working on opposite-color neutral with the plan to eventually become color neutral. I'm already color neutral on 2x2x2 and semi neutral on 4x4x4, so hopefully it won't be too hard.

color neutral for me all the way. I just like the easy crosses

You should have put in "opposite colors" in the poll

And purple too.

I'm thinking about using yellow, white, and blue if Petrus.
White and yellow for Fridrich.
Have no clue for ZZ (right now just white or yellow on U/D, Green and Blue on F/B actually. It's the same as BLD orientation for me, which is F Blue, U white).
I don't see the point of color neutral for Fridrich. All crosses are easy. It seems to me that the more difficult for a method to be color neutral, the more rewarding it it.

I use blue.Avg of 17.xx.

i use green, its a beastly color!!

also for off-topic, i use pink cross for megaminx

I used to use green, but then I swtiched to white. But then again, if one colour has more of the cross done; that's a bonus.

Me too, exactly. It's weird that so little people use yellow as cross, seeing as within my friends almost all of them do yellow cross, although maybe that's because I taught half of them

No, I am too. My nephew does red on top as well.

I have always done it like this because red was my fav colour when I started cubing however now I like having the white/yellow blue/green for FL2 because they are reallly easy to see and the F2L is the area to save time.


I can do the cube colour neutral but I prefer to always use red.

Blue cross mostly, though I can solve yellow cross as quickly as with blue. On rare occasions I will solve their opposites, green or white, depending on the circumstances.

Orange cross, actually. As shown by the poll, I'm the first!

1st post!

 

[penguin12321]

i use yellow for the cross because it stands out the most and it is opposite to white. (i like that since the Rubik's logo is in the center of white. the logo is somewhat a focal point for me.)

 

[kickinwing2112]

i go with the white because yellow is opposit and helps learning new top layer algs

 

[rubiksfriend]

I don't make the cross! Crosses are inefficient anyway. XD

One layer doesn't have a great load of freedom, either.

I find it interesting that a lot of people use white or yellow/white so that they will have a brighter color to make identification of the OLL easier, while I love that using green cross, I end up with using blue(the darkest color) to ID the OLL. For me, it easier to spot the absence of bright colors than their presence. I plan to move more toward green or blue cross once I get a little faster, but unless I go completely color neutral, I plan to use the darker colors for cross and OLL.

I'm neutral. I just solve whichever I see first/whichever is already partially solved.
