Chocobo dyeing R&D Thread - Post your results here!

I was attempting to get "Slate Grey" from that google document that was floating around, and ended up with plum purple.

Any suggestions on what I should feed to try to get back to the original color I was aiming for? Or perhaps or any other grey color? Or black? Or ink blue? Anything except plum purple. :(

Pretty sure my next feed will get me soot black. Will return with results if it does.

Good luck

2 different fruits turned my Midnight blue to Kobold brown (and back to midnight blue twice)

Annoying to get back.

So I've been toying around with some people's theories on chocobo dyeing and I fully support the:

Apple +R -G -B
Pear -R +G -B
Berries -R -G +B

Plum -R +G +B
Valfruit +R -G +B
Pineapple +R +G -B

I've also realized one VERY important detail while dyeing my own chocobo. I think whatever color you give them FIRST directly impacts what color they change to the most.

Another post I read mentioned something about Primary and Secondary colors and I think that's a whole lot of true.

I fed my chocobo 1 berry > 1 apple and 4 pears from Plum Purple, had NO messages and he did not change color this morning. I then fed him the EXACT same fruit this morning in a different order: 4 pear > 1 berry > 1 apple and got feather changing messages EACH time I fed him.

This is all just my observations of course!

I hope it works out. Ink Blue and Deepwood Green are both VERY close to Soot Black but I've been having no luck on bumping my way over to Black. I'm on my 7th session now.

Try feeding Pears. Purple means you're low on green. If you're going for Grey I would think you'd need a balance of color levels.

Anyone gone from Coral Pink to Dalamud or Rolanberry Red? If so, can you share your fruits?

Any idea how to turn this to sky/ice blue?

I would try Pineapples. Sky Blue has a very high blue count.

It would increase the red green values too,
but i used a color slider and the weird thing is that sky blue has more blue/red/green in all, wouldn't pineapple lighten the shade?
