So from Ink Blue, I went to Midnight Blue with a Valfruit and Plum.
Ink Blue - 22 26 34
Midnight Blue - 20 21 49

Both those fruits should've done +red, +grn, -blu.... however, it didn't do that at all if it changed to Midnight Blue. Quite the opposite, rather. So maybe it isn't strictly based of RGB number manipulation. Maybe what's happening is that you go down a 'color path' and the deeper you are in one, the harder it is to jump to a new color path altogether? So maybe I'm so deep in to blue that the only way I can hop over to a new color is to first start making my way to a brighter blue and then get myself in to new color range (grays) as I revert closer back to starting point, and from there darken down to black? Not sure. I've seen a few people mention that they have hit grays but I figure by now they would have hit black if this theory is correct...

Current feeding:
Apple - no msg
Pear - feather message
Apple - feather message

I'm hoping that maybe there's some RNG involved in hopping around to a new color palette and that if I continue to tinker around in these darker colors I may get lucky and hop in to Soot Black. With how much red and green I've been doing in the past few sessions I would've thought I would at least hit a dark red or dark green so I'm not sure if this is going to work out. However, at this point, if this next feeding doesn't produce a promising result, I'm just gonna go back to Ink Blue and call it good. Ink Blue is pretty sexxay.

I'm feeding Bucephalus (royal blue... again) 1 apple now to see what happens, will post again in 6hrs.

I fed mine one single Mamook Pear yesterday, only got the message that the color will change in 6h, 2 hours later i fed another 5 Mamook Pears, i didn't pay attention to the Chatlog. I went to bed, woke up, my Chocobo is still Yellow. T_T

Just to add to this, if you use Pineapples while your Chocobo is Othard Blue, one or 2 more pineapple (or specially, one "new feathers" message) will bring you to Raptor Blue.

Thanks for the info! I was thinking that was the case :) people in mumble have been thinking i was insane for the past 40 or so hours, I'm glad that my hypothesis seems to have validity.

This is incorrect. I have changed my chocobo color 4 times now and one food will affect all three color ratios.

I used 5 pears (one feather change) this last attempt and my chocobo went from Peacock Blue R52, G97, B127 to Turquoise Green R60, G107, B107 = +R8, +G10, -B20

+R8, +G10, -B20? 8 10 20 its the key for one feather change?

/comfort
Gave mine 7 pears (two messages) and only got cream yellow. Then I added 2 Valfruits and another pear (2 messages). Later then Niqote told me that Valfruit counters the pears so I gave him all the pears I had left which only ended in a honey yellow ;_;
