White cubes vs. Black cubes

[sellingseals]

If this is true maybe it has to do with them dying the plastic black before injecting it into the mould. Personally I like white cubes but do own some black ones as well but they collect dust.

in my opinion it doesnt even matter, just get what looks best to you. there probably isnt a difference between black and white cubes when it comes to performance, if people say that because they have e.g.1 black and 1 white zhanchi its probably because they arent setup the same. and if it makes one, then it is probably not even noticeable, and definitely wont slow you down. the recognition also isnt a too vaild point in my opinion. as soon as you get used to it, you will get the same times. its all about the skill

Seriously though I'm fine with black cubes, I prefer the look of white cubes though, and primary is super sexy.

Black cubes look expensive and luxurious, white cubes look incredibly cheap and low quality. That's why I only buy black (or stickerless).

Black MoYu Aolong (for example)- Looks like it costs 20 dollars
White MoYu Aolong- Looks like it costs 3 dollars

I think the difference is due to the fact that black cubes look much more uniform.

You can get used to both white and black plastic and get the same times with them.

My Zhanchi was* white, all my other cubes are black. I seem to prefer it for some reason.

*It still is white, just I lent it to someone for a while and they apparently popped it by accident and some pieces fell onto a train track. *sigh*

Primary cubes are sexy as ****. Come on, what other cubes are semi translucent but still look good? But I still prefer black though.

The only problem with that is the primary cubes are ugly.

It may be true that differentiating a light green and a dark blue is easier on a white cube than on a black one. Contrasting the color of the plastic is beneficial to easy recognition. Dark blue might blend into black somewhat.

That makes a bit of sense in theory, but I don't think most people has noticed a real difference in the speed of white and black cubes. Crazybadcuber said his recognition is worse on white, and most people seem to prefer black, perhaps because of aesthetics rather than anything speed related.

I have almost nothing but white cubes. I should get a black one and see if my recognition is affected one way or another. (I would expect it to worsen, since I'm not used to that color of plastic, and I don't think it would reflect negatively on black cubes if that did happen)

It's not that way for all cubes. White zhanchis look much better than black ones, in my opinion. Its probably because of the plastic. Moyu white bases look horrid.

That might be true for Dayan cubes but I think the majority of white cubes look like they came from the dollar store

That's completely subjective. I use white cubes SPECIFICALLY because I like the way they look better.

Because I had a black Rubik's brand, most black cubes seem like they'd be slow when watching them in a video...

I'm getting a white AoLong and a black YuLong. I wonder if I'll notice much difference with the colors...

Black Vs White cubes

Black or white cubes?

 

[Popo4123]

I like white cubes because of how they look and the moyu shades look really nice on white cubes(in my opinion) and it looks cleaner.

Me too.

Black!

I prefer Pink cubes. Almost all my mains are pink. Well, they were until the MoYu AoShi came out, now I only have 3 pink cubes in my main cubes. When will the Pink AoShi come out!?

It should do.

 

[CriticalCubing]

My times are same on white cubes and black cubes, so no difference for me.

 

[Azndwarf]

I heard white cubes are more smoother....

White cubes do feel smoother, but many people have better recognition with black cube (Including me). I wish all cubes have white internal pieces with black outer pieces like the Moyu Aosu.
