3 Apples - 1 Pear - 1 Apple - 1 Pear - 1 Apple - 1 Berry - 1 Berry - 1 Pear - 1 Apple
And the message "Beginning to grow new feathers" pop at last apple.
If my personal Theory is right,i should get Dalamud Red or Rolanberry Red

And as the result i've got Rolanberry Red ! Maybe because green lower than blue.
Next Step i'll aim for Soot Black.after 30 min doing math i finally came up with answer.
1 Doman Plum 5 Mamook Pears 3 O'Ghomoro Berry.i've fed my bird with this excact order and the message "beginning to grow new feathers" pop at the very first fruit i fed.For the result in next 5:30 hours,even i don't get soot black but i have a feeling i'm getting closer.i won't give up now ! Hail to the Sciene ! Wish me luck.

Got my Pink Choco!

Don't worry,just add 1 Doman Plum and you should get the message "beginning to grow new feather" and will get soot black.but IF 1 Doman Plum won't trigger the message just feed him another plum(shouldn't need more than this though)and you should get the message.

Thx alot for that. ^^

But I do wish OP would update 1st post with all information. Or someone has depth understanding about this could make new thread about Chocobo Dye FAQs. ^^;

Can I ask - in what order did you give the fruit to your chocobo during your first feeding to achieve Slate Grey? I followed the same "recipe" over two feedings - first did 12 O'ghomoro Berries, which did give me Goobbue Gray as I was expecting, and then in the second feeding gave it the remaining O'ghomoro Berries, followed by Pears, followed by Apples. This resulted in Plum Purple, not Slate Gray. I've given it a bit of lighten red overnight to see if that helps matters, but I'm not expecting magic.

So during your first feeding, what order did you give the 3 types of fruit?

Snow White the whitest can get a chocobo, or can there possibly be something of a pure white even beyond that?

Lotus Pink and Ice Blue seems look brighter to me,snow white is just like "Light Grey" in my opinion.

Apples x7
Plum x1
Make sure the stable is in Good condition. Start feeding berries until you see new feathers. From then on, count ONLY the fruits that resulted in new feathers towards the above recipe.

So make sure I have this right. You get that first berry to give you new feathers then I feed it the numbers of fruit you listed above until I get new feathers msg's. So I need 5 berry new feather msgs, 5 pear new feather msgs and so on or it doesn't count? Does that also include the last plum.

My quest for Soot Black is almost complete I think. Here's my progress so far:

Desert Yellow (216, 175, 80)
Apple x8, Pear x8, Berry x8
Halatali Yellow (159, 125, 42)
Apple x12, Pear x12, Berry x12
Opo-Opo Brown (116, 85, 39)
Apple x5, Pear x5, Berry x3
Orchard Brown (93, 59, 18)
Apple x3
Mesa Red (118, 51, 4)
Berry x1
Orchard Brown (93, 59, 18)
Berry x2
Rust Red (91, 29, 5)
Berry x3
Wine Red (62, 17, 14)
Plum x2
Loam Brown (56, 45, 35)
Apple x1, Pear x1, Berry x1

Will update to report the latest feed.

Got Plum Purple here, anyone know how to get to soot Black or Ink Blue from there?

Figured I should just feed it a good amount of green, a few blue and some red even things out to being Soot but I want to see of anyone here has gone through that.
