Hey guys, Halloween is in a month, and my profile picture is in a costume! I spent the past week designing some clothes to go with my channel, as well as some Halloween designs that I'm sure you'll find amusing. Check it out! teespring.com/stores/jperm (10% off sale until Oct 14! promo code: SPOOKY) It may seem too soon for Halloween-themed clothing, but shipping times may be slow depending on where you live so I wanted to get the message out early. Next video I'm unboxing some clothes :)

Me: Tries red cross Also Me: Does white cross on red face.

I switched when I was averaging mid 7,I did the best cross everytime,and I practiced on and off, I'm almost completely colour neutral now,after 5 months of on and off practice, I'm happy to say that it's it's worth the practice! I still have to practice to get rid of the small lookahead errors I make though :p

how to be color neutral: step one: Become color neutral (0:54)

I became color neutral immediately after I learned how to solve the cube so the transition was extremely easy.

Hey guys, I have always been color neutral because when I first learned I was not taught to always start in one color. That means I never had to worry about it at all and I never gained any bad habits that were hard to break. So when you teach new people to solve a cube, do them a favor and tell them to start on whichever center has most edges attached and never mention that they should look at color. It does not make it any harder and when they get fast they will appreciate it

It’s also really important on 2x2, Skewb, and Pyraminx.

Which is more important than the other? 1: to be CN 2: to memorize 1st F2L pair

This video was amazing. I watched it 2 years ago and became color neutral-ish in maybe 3 months. Now, I am confident in saying that I consider myself fully color neutral. 2 extra comments: 1. Color neutrality is good even though you save only 1 move on average because average isn't everything. My last 2 PBs (9.04 and 9.23) were both on colors other than white. I'm glad I became color neutral just because of that. 2. I think the second approach you recommended (learn 1 extra color at a time, 1:25) was better for me. I tend to get distracted (like rn) and have a hard time working on one thing for a long time. I tried but wasn't able to continue solving on every color because the improvement (per color) was just too slow. I think I would've given up if I didn't switch to approach 2.

As a tip i put white cross away for some days and start for another color( e.g. Red). The main thing is in F2L bcoz i can make a cross at inspection and oll pll will only take some days. But try to do f2l only for specific color. Means solve the cross and don't see cube and start time and solve the f2l. I think this is the best way.☺☺☺

I'm sub 30 and I'm color neutral Yay

Speedcubers do so much They become colour neutral to solve cross ASAP They increase their F2L lookahead to 7 tps Memorize tons of algs for LL.

I highly recommend doing the 2nd option. I have tried 3 times with option 1 but failed each time since I saw no improvement. I am now doing the 2nd option, and I am so motivated since I can see improvement.

Welp, I’m glad I started off color neutral because this seems like a lot of work just to learn.

I was only able to solve it from yellow and white sides without confusion but this is helpful.

I've been waiting for a video on colour neutrality. It's definitely something I've been considering as I've gotten faster. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the advice/tips bro, super helpful. I've been meaning to switch to color neutrality for about a year and a half now, but never really stuck with it. Now that I've hit a little bit of a plateau in 3x3, I think I'm really going to try now. Your videos are so helpful and inspirational, I'm glad you continue to make them.

Hey! *J S A U C E* ! Dylan here!

Was waiting my whole life for this video (by whole life i mean ever since i found your channel lol). Thanks for the tips! xx.

Yay new video!..some more neutral color..i really really need tips for neutral color. thank you soo much..and a nice picture

Wanted that Color neutral tutorial ..THANKS TO YOU BRO😎😎😎😎😎

Have to say the tips in here really helped. Been training color neutrality for a week and i'm all ready within 5 seconds of my average on all colors.

Dude u r videos and tutorials helped me to literally destroy my pbs! U are amazing ! Thx man

Always a great video. Keep it up!

J Perm your video is always best. Thanks for making this video . This will help me .

Great video Dylan. Thank you. That definitely will help me to be color neutral

Jperm I swear that I remember the day when I subscribed when u had 22k subscribers!!!! But today u have 72k freaking subscribers tats insane u deserve more than this jperm. O and luv ur vids.

i just tryed you tips ND IMPRVED INSTANLY THX BRO

Thank you for introducing me to Color Neutral as a concept. I recently learned how to solve the cube by the basic method to reach a life time goal of mine. I'm not really interested in increasing my speed because fast was not my goal. I wasn't sure where to go next until this video. I think I will become color neutral before white side first becomes too ingrained. I just solved it blue side first. It was a little slower than starting with white, but not as much as I thought it would be

I watched this video 9 months ago, and back then I could only do the cross on white and yellow. After everything closed down I just said f*** it let's try and become color neutral. Thanks to this video I managed to do it before this terrible year ended. Happy holidays everyone!

Finally became Color neutral! Yay!!! Thanks for your inspiration. It helped me 😏👍

Thanks Jperm due to your tips I became full CN in a month Awesome vid btw.

I just likes your descriptions you are really hard working.......Asia👍

*player has unlocked new move... Color neutral*

Thanks I’ll be sure to keep this in mind

Man You're the best youtuber ever.

Congratulations on 1.4 million subs

i am very glad that i have been colour neutral from day one, because, the learning for colour neutrality is layered on top of the entirety of learning the cube so it doesn't seem slow

Thanks for excepting my request 😊😊

Thx j perm u jave helped me a lot lots of love from australia

Can you make a video on Budget 6x6/7x7 or recommendations for generally lower priced ones? The 5x5 video helped a lot with my decision!

I'm color neutral now!!!Thanks J perm!!!💓

Nice video!

Good Explanation 👏

600k soon 👍🏾👍🏾

I used the 1st method of becoming CN from white (a little bit yellow) a little more than a year after i started cubing. Took me roughly 6 weeks to become full CN. However during the process i noticed i was having a little trouble starting on red/orange so simply practiced those colours more til i became comfortable with it. Now i mainly do red/orange but i am still CN and will go for an easy cross on any other colour

Your comment about not knowing the color orientation when solving the cross makes me feel so much better. lol. I know 2-look, but I’m barely learning to solve cross on bottom and it’s been pretty painful. >.

Congo for 100 k subs

I'm already DCN, and after watching this video, I am more motivated to learn CN! Btw, I was color neutral when I was using beginners, but after I changed to CFOP, I solved only on white and then it carried over to yellow cross bc of the same side colors. I also have tried to be CN after CFOP, but I gave up. (When I averaged 30s to 20s). As of now, I have currently started learning CN today, and I average anywhere from low 20s to sub 20 with only DCN (white & yellow aka dcn), but I average 30s to 20s without DCN. (No yellow or white cross. Only B. O. R. G. crosses, aka blue, orange, red, and green.)

I saw this video like one month after I started cubing semi-seriously and it was really easy to change to CN. Now I’m not completely colour neutral like when I’m mindlessly solving but for the most part I am.

Anything you do is cool.

I would choose to use the layer by layer method at first (for the first two layers) when I am starting to solve the cross on a colour other than white, then I would use the standard OLL and PLL method for the last layer. When you are learning how to become colour neutral, it is the F2L that you need to worry about the most, the secondary thing you need to worry about would be the cross (especially if you need to solve the cross without aligning it at first). You don't really have to worry too much about OLL and PLL when you solve those cases on a different colour, but you may want to worry about the last layer if you are using COLL or ZBLL/ZBLS.

The tutorial that taught me how to solve the cube was using the green side. So i only knew how to solvw with that color until i began learning 2-look and all the tutorials were using the white side. So i was forced to adapt. Now i realize it was good that i learned using the green side since now I already color neutral with white,yellow, green, and blue

so ok, I have been trying to like pair up the 2 pieces when taking it out from the bottom 2 layers to the top during f2l for the 3 move inserts, which now that I think about it means that I am actually focusing on the current pieces and I end up rotating to insert the pair anyways, so should I be kind of letting that go so that I can focus on the next pairs and on edge orientation which may save my time which I had lost on the extra moves.?? also are wide d moves bad? as it messes up the orientation. p.s any like small tips that I may have not been focusing on during f2l?

I'm already color neutral but still watched! You should make a renaming OLLs video btw.

i never needed a tutorial to be color neutral

i am collor neutral solving a 2x2 cube its easy,but when solving a 3x3 its kinda tricky getting used to it but dont worryy i can hang on it

9:28 Yau is for CFOP. There’s also Hoya for CFOP, Roux is Meyer, and ZZ is Z4.

I became color neutral when I used to average around 15 seconds. Even I did a color at a time. Fixed around 3-6 days for 1 color and then the opposite color. Took me a month to learn and around 2 to get better at it:) Hope that ya' ll who want to be CN become one soon

The fact your motivation was that it would just be cool is insane. Idk how I would get motivation to become color neutral

Nice logo!

I just started yesterday and it really isn’t as hard as you think. I’m off to a great start but still a long way to go

I became color neutral as a beginner, I used the first method, where I just did any color from the start. Because I transitioned as a beginner the transition was pretty easy.

thanks for the tips . now i am colour neutral because of you

Thanks!

I'm an extremely un-colour neutral red-cross solver, and I use Yau all the way up to 8x8, so the only time I use CN is 2x2 scrambles favouring Ortega, and even then the only time I touch 2x2 is 2-7 relay.

thanks for doing my suggestion!!

Guys I found it really helpful to practice color neutral on a 2x2

I am actually kind of used to solve cross on every side because when I first started cubing, I would do the color which had the most edges oriented but as I learned cfop, I started doing the cross on only white. So I think it will be easier for me to become color neutral from now on. And I am already color neutral on 2x2. (when I started 2x2 I didn't even know what color neutral was and I was already doing the first layer on the color which had the most corners oriented. SO BASICALLY I AM COLOR NEUTRAL ON CORNERS BUT NOT ON EDGES. I KNOW IT IS WEIRD BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.)

That was what i needed

About two months ago I got my first cube and now I have about one minute and half average and from the beginning I’m trying to become color neutral which to me seems as the most logical way :)

Im kinda CN cuz I always start other colors for fun, but its slow tho. I'm learning CFOP for now because Im using a mix of algorithms mostly beginner's method for months now so I think I'm going to practise CN after that.

That’s so useful

I've been color neutral ever since I started with the begginers method. I think the worst part of it is that, sometimes, you can't decide which cross is the "less worst" and that takes you A LOT of inspection time. This doesn't happen that often, though.

Best video!!! A doubt when i should start to be colour neutral

I'm gonna practice CN, and what happens with the logo of the channel? Looks pretty good Haha, greetings from Costa Rica!

Thx sm since I was only good at dual CN

is it a good idea to insert f2l pieces before the last cross edge on a bad case

I did slow solves and just dived right in. I learned in a few days

I am pretty decent at color neutrality but I have one problem. When I'm doing F2L, I have trouble identifying the edges for F2L. I have to look at the edge's corresponding corner in order to know which edge to look for. Any tips?

Lol I became color neutral right after I half learned f2l and 4 look last layer (I started trying color neutrality after I learned beginner’s method). You just have to have a screw-it attitude and mess around with the cube until it works. I think learning so early on (a month after I decided I wanted to cube) really works. You don’t get that much slower at my level at that time and when inspecting, I just look at the colors of the edges relative to the ones I already have. I don’t memorize the patterns of the colors and for f2l, I find the pair’s slot relative to the sides I can see. I mean idk if that’s color neutrality but I’m not faster on any particular side and I usually solve on any side with some edges solved. This might not make any sense but just remember what colors are opposite and look at the centers and just remember the relative spots of the colors for each solve. Not memorizing, just be logical and PAY ATTENTion to colors. You’d be surprised how much is subconscious. I still can’t inspect my first pair (that is just me no matter what the side) but f2l isn’t as bad as some of you say it is? Perhaps it’s because I got so used to it in the beginning. Either way, for f2l, corner pieces are what you should focus on.

Would ypu think its a good idea to learn a cross color then its opposite? For example learn green, then blue, then red, then orange?

Hey Dylan can you help me I can do cross in 7 secs f2l in 10 Seconds Oll and pll In 5 seconds What should I improve to get faster

Hey Jperm.... is it okay to be color neutral while Im using a wierd color shemed cube.... I mean my white layer that is supposed to be white is color violet.... is it okay to use that for color neutrality?

This just blew my mind; I average 50 seconds and have been stuck there for 3 year. I usually start with any random color. I didn't realize that I was attempting to be "color neutral." I thought everyone just solved whatever color was best. What this taught me is that I'm actually NOT color neutral: I'm just equally slow on all the colors! I think now to improve, if I understand correctly, I need to focus on one color and get way better.

Started being color neutral after a few days. Had a cube for three weeks or so and can solve any colour in about a minute. I learned basic F2L and will try to learn basic OLL and PLL once I mastered the simple F2L cases I learned [like (l U) (r U' r' U') l']

Hi Jperm! love your videos :). I’m looking for advice. I avg around 13 sec, and I do white and yellow cross. I know I can improve on cross-f2l transition, better LL algs, more efficient f2l solutions, my lookahead could be a lot better, that kind of stuff. I definitely feel like I would improve more if I worked on that stuff instead of becoming CN. but, as you said in the video, it will become harder to get CN as you get better. So Im not sure I’ll ever do it if I dont do it now. On the other hand, I know it’s not necessary to be CN to get fast. So... should i put in the work to become color neutral? thanks!

Superb

I'm curious, do you have any thoughts on color neutral for 4x4? I did it myself when becoming more serious about 4x4, and I actually would recommend it for a few different reasons. If you wanted to you could even do so as a video experiment to track the benefits of it and see if it seems worthwhile in general. And I'll say more about my experience and thoughts if it's interesting, I just don't want to make a giant paragraph right now lol.

Thanks

I'm just starting to learn cfop but became color neutral just after i learned the whole beginner method

Wow, I became color neutral pretty fast. I just decided to do it one day, and then it took me around a week of hard cubing (probably +2h every day). My only problem is that it sometimes takes me way too long to choose which color to use.

I was one of the lucky few who started off color neutral from the start😊

can we be method for solving cuve neutral so we use cfop if it beter or another solve

I actually go with the first one. I was full cn once and lost the doigté after not using the cube for a long time, I was even full cn petrus and the same thing: happened, lost most of the doigté. I thought of coming with two concepts in cubing: first one is solving the rest of the cube within f2l last pair, I made a few algs for that up until now I have 2 of them R U' R' U' R U R' and the second one is R U R' U R U R'. The second concet consists of making 3 blocks or f2l-1 within 12-16 moves HTM and to exaggerate 8 moves. And if you allow me, I came with the idea of making an advanced beginner LBL method wich would help increase look ahead. Sorry if you see some mistakes, English is not my language.

I’ve been cubing for about 5 years on white cross, is it still worth learning?

I average 24 seconds, should I switch

hey j perm... which one should i buy ??? YJ yulong or mf3rs or yuxin little magic ????

TYSM this was very helpful i am 700th commenter

How can u switch from sub 15
