I'm not doubting you, like I said earlier Im sick so a lot is just going straight over my head these last few days x_x I'd just like to know where it was said like that, especially since I wanted a white chocobo

It's from the item list in the patch notes. The 6 seeds split into 3 colors, 1 deepening hue and 1 lightening. On an RGB scale, it seems.

For example;

A bitter fruit found growing on the Rhotano Sea's Cieldalaes islands. While typically avoided by the five races, it is a favorite amongst chocobos, and is known to lighten the blue hues of their feathers.

This is going to take some serious time to get the color you're looking for.

For those that aren't too familiar with the RGB scale, in order to get a black choco, you'll need to get all 3 colors to their maximum deepness. For a white choco, you'll need to get all 3 colors to their maximum lightness. This is going to take lots of time (6 Earth hours for each fruit to take effect) and lots of fruit (depending on how many fruit it'll take to reach the maximum of each extreme).

It takes 6 hours for the effect to take place... perhaps you can 'stack' the effect? Since it takes one hour for your chocobo to 'rest' before feeding it again, in theory you could feed it the said fruit earlier than six hours if you rapidly need the chocobo to go a certain scale?

This would probably get an undesired shade if going at it blind... but maybe there'll be a 'this x amount' guide at some point.

That's my exact worry as well. Hopefully there isn't like more than 5 "stages" of hue per color. Gotta get seeds, seeds could take a variable amount of time to grow (If they take as long as Thavnairian Onions to grow... haha). Then the actual timer to paint your bird's feathers for each "step" of hue. All of this behind gardening, which is still behind an FC wall.

But leave it to an MMO to make painting a bird's feather's a time sink. huehuehue

It should only take a few people going a few different ways to see how far the shading slider is (for example, if each of R/G/B has 6 "positions" or 9 or 3 or somewhere in between). Wouldn't be surprised to see a comprehensive shader guide within 3 days after the first harvest with a dedicated FC.

Patch seems to be available for download now

It doesn't seem to be 6 hours for it to take effect but it changes every 6 hours depending on the colors used.

I personally plan on gathering and growing as many of these seeds as I can for the next couple of weeks. Not to color my Chocobo, but to make mad bank.

If you read the seed item descriptions, the treats will change color in terms of shades... not just one color... so multiple treats will be needed to get a desired color. That's my thought after reading it anyway.
