White or Green?

When I did color neutral fridrich, green and blue crosses were very nice for me because the edge pieces for F2L are white and warm colors. Those are very bright and I can spot them easily whereas the orange and red crosses had duller colored edge pieces. That was slightly slower. Just my observation.
 
I don't see how a side can be scrambled the least to get PLL skips, its all the same.

Dude. What do you mean it's all the same?! Red's got a different wavelength from any other color on the cube, of course you get more PLL skips with red. Why else do you think David Calvo uses red?

wait, i didnt know soilds have wavelengths :p

Now you know.

So right now im "emitting wavelengths"? my wavelengths own your wavelengths!

That doesn't make any sense. Wavelength is a measurement. It's like you saying "I'm emitting height and weight!" You are a wave and a particle.

Well thats what i said in my first post! "i didnt know soilds have wavelengths " i knew that soilds where just one big particle/wave .

Wouldn't you naturally have a wavelength if you were a wave? There's your answer.
 
White stands out more, and therefore you can spot all the peices faster. Which gives you more time to look for things in pre-inspection. Green is a color that "blends" with the others. White or possibly Yellow are the best colors to start with. The instructions that come with the cube say green because it was possibly Erno Rubik's preffered color.

Erno. sorry had to correct that.
 
Do what you want.
People say that things will stand out more, but that's only because they use that color. Also, not everyone's stickers are the same, so maybe you have a really funky orange or something that sticks out. If you like green, just stick with it. The one downside is that a lot of people will have tutorials with a white cross, so that could get annoying.
 
I use green b/c it stands out. Well, on learning a new one, I'll use what they use. But when just solving... green (3x3), white (5x5), light blue (megaminx), red (6x6). Kinda weird, but I see things weird like that.
 
I just started with the side easiest to get the cross on when I was doing the beginners method (LBL) but when I started using the Fridrich method most of the tutorials/guides had white on bottom so that just kinda stuck. Now I always make a white cross... but my times with a yellow cross are the best compared to blue, green, red or orange.
 
I like using green because it's opposite of blue and I like to have blue on the bottom just because it makes the other colors stand out.
 
You're just now starting to learn? Awesome. This is when I would seize the time to practice color neutrality, before anything is ingrained. Every time you do the cross, change colors :) That's what I did, and it helped a lot.

What I usually do is look for my cross color (easy to do) for the cross-edges, pretend like the color across from the cross is invisible when I get to the F2L(I did this even in a layer-by-layer method), if that even makes sense. It works wonderfully. With your color across from the cross being invisible and ignored, you only see the pieces that you need. They stick out against the 'background' of the invisible color. I'll shut up before I confuse you.
