I remember having one if the early Ideal cubes (at least I think it was), and green was opposite blue. Recently I bought one of those "odds-on" cubes, and within a week I wore the plastic coating off the faces, so I decided to peel all the stickers off and paint it using model paint. I decided to keep the most similar colors opposite each other (blue-green, red-orange, yellow-white). I find this arrangement makes things easier when cubing under dim lighting. :) -- Long Island chess -> http://www.webcom.com/timm/ TimM on ICC and A-FICS The opinions of my employers are not necessarily mine and vice versa.
