Little update on me. My Old Post with all of my experimentation recorded.
I successfully got back to Rolanberry Red using the established apples > berries route. I fed pears once there and I expect to hit Russet Brown in about 1 1/2 hrs. From Russet Brown I will fed Berries, perhaps landing on Grape Purple, making that a step shorter if I do. After that step, Apples will be next, some time late tonight. Wine Red has GB numbers lower than soot black so it's probably going to be rough to land on.
Starting Colour - Apple Green
Feed - 17 Plums
Result - Celeste Green
Starting Colour - Celeste Green
Feed - 2 Pears
Result - Apple Green
Starting Colour - Apple Green
Feed - 1 Berry
Result - Celeste Green
. . . This bird really, really doesn't want to be Meadow Green. He's digesting another pear right now, we'll see how he feels about things in the morning.
Hmmm, in that case, I'll watch your progress closely but experiment with a less conventional attempted route to Wine. Berries from Blood to Dalamud, but then pears out of Dalamud. If there's not some Square Enix number voodoo like with the apple path, I'm thinking that'll lead to a stable Rust Red-ish area, and, if so, I might be able to berry out of that back into Wine territory ... again, assuming no number voodoo. Preparing myself for soulcrushing disappointment this time, however - even cautious optimism got me kicked in the rolanberries with how small of a window grape turned out to be.
I have updated my O'Ghomoro berries experiment. I have obtained Royal Blue as expected.
Staring new experiment now:
Scope: I fed my chocobo not more than 20 of each fruit not yet in the chart, to see if I will be able to achieve any colour change. I stopped after the first "Mnementh is beginning to grow new feathers!" message.
Starting colour: Royal Blue
Stable cleanliness: Good.
Chocobo rank: 10

So, Dalamud red + mamook pear = Blood red
Trying to get to Wine red from there, I guess I'll have to use berries for a bit.
Aw, nuts. What were your earlier steps? Did you go the standard Desert > Millioncorn > Pumpkin > Blood > Dalamud route before that? May have to re-evaluate my approach... minus one for the simulator, too, if that's the case.
Blood Red (143 63 39)
Dalamud Red (127 31 31)
Rust Red (103 39 7)
Maybe I should take a blue route out of Dalamud/Rolanberry/Regal and lots of apples back towards Wine, instead... Ah, well. One step at a time.
Yeah.. so I just got hit with major number voodoo, but found Bark Brown. Why I'm on there, I really have no idea.
Pears from Rolanberry Red did NOT take me to Russet Brown. They took me to Regal Purple AGAIN. So I went with pears again.. now I'm on Bark Brown.
Think I'm about to start alternating fruit in the same method I was going to attempt Soot Black with.
And a new feathers message with ONE apple... >.>
It feels as if Regal Purple is a large, stable pit surrounded by slippery inclines to other colors. Moreover, I feel like Rolanberry Red in particular is very small, icy pedestal surrounded by slippery descents (with one, of course, headed right back to the aforementioned regal pit (Hm, Regal Pit is not a terrible band name)). Bark Brown is like feeding valfruit at Blood Red if you go by the raw numbers, which is both confusing and depressing. It also makes me feel a little more like the "blue overload" approach might not just be a safer option, but the only one that hasn't blown up in our face so far ... aside from pretending that we're going for soot black and then yelling "SUCKER" and loading up on apples at the last second. Any idea what you're going to try next?
Thanks to everyone adding to the sheet! It seems like we've mapped out most of the basic colours. I'm contemplating on starting to experiment with the mixed fruit feedings now. Although at times I'm starting to feel that the dye process is just a 'random colour generator' by SE XD
I have updated Royal Blue exeriment. Valfruit yielded Regal Purple. Now I am trying Cieldalaes Pineapple to return to Royal Blue, which should also contribute to the chart.
Anyone else feeling intimidated at being the 'go to' person for achieving the desired bird color? I'm happy to help, but it's really tough to explain how fruit can potentially result in an unexpected color when the average player thinks it works like a recipe (feed 10 berries and 10 apples and OF COURSE you always get purple, for example.)
Like some other players here, I've also started a spreadsheet that will hopefully help other people.
In it I hope to list any and all possible outcomes of everything (which will naturally take a while...)
You can find the spreadsheet here
Right now I'm starting to add information from this chart, as well as this wonderful spreadsheet.
If anyone dyes their Chocobo after feeding them with a single type of fruit I would appreciate it if they would add it to the list.
If the spreadsheet isn't clear, I put some information on the top row, if you still have questions afterwards, don't hesitate to ask!
I could use a little bit of Advice getting my chocobo from Royal Blue TO Ink Blue
My feedings so far have been as follows
Ul brown - 5 Berries, 1 Pear, 1 Apple
Gloom Purple - 20 Berries, 10 Pears, 9 Apples
Royal Blue - 2 Berries
Any Idea where I should go from there, I have tested combos of fruits on my Alt Char and she got Ceruleum Blue.
Well that one apple from Bark Brown last night landed me back on guess what?................... the pit of hell called Regal Purple.
This. At least something similar.
Oh you found a route to black? YAAAAY Now you're feeding it apples... are you crazy? Maybe.
I give you... REGAL PURPLE.

Most people here will tell you that you don't want to feed multiple fruits at once, you're also not listing any procs, I suggesting reading all information on this chart and then checking how you want to proceed.
I updated this spreadsheet with a ton of information, if anyone has anything to add, feel free to do so.
I'm trying to get slate grey. I was at goob grey and fed equal amounts of deepening fruit until proc. I ended up with Adamantoise green. Which is quite close to slate grey on the number chart. I fed some additional pears until proc again. Hoping it will be slate.
Welp, my bird has continued to ping back and forth between Apple Green and Celeste Green;
Starting Colour - Celeste Green
Feed - 1 Pear
Result - Apple Green
Starting Colour - Apple Green
Feed - 1 Berry, first new feathers message, 1 Berry, second new feathers message
Result - Celeste Green
Starting Colour - Celeste Green
Feed - 1 Apple
Result - Apple Green
DAMN IT TANNKOUBOH STOP BEING DIFFICULT.

Feed 1: 10 Berries, 5 Pears
Desert Yellow (219/180/87) -> Meadow Green (139/156/99)
Feed 2: 1 Apple, 1 Berry, 1 Pear
No change in color
Messages (using A for Apple, B for Berry, P for Pear):
1A (no other messages)
-> This suggests that going back to the original color does not give a message.
Feed 3: 4 Apple, 4 Plum, 12 Berry
Meadow Green (139/156/99) -> Raptor Blue (91/127/192)

~End~
so my berries and pears finally grew and so i was able to keep going. here's my full path so far:
i'm headed towards morbol green. oddly, with feeding berries, the green values went both up and down. currently, i had to feed my chocobo 8 pears to get the next feathers growing message. alinah's chart doesn't have green lines from raptor or seafog blues, but i'm expecting turquoise or adamantoise green.Code:Color R G B Num. of Fruit to Get Here
Desert Yellow 216 175 80
Sylph Green 182 182 131 x4 doman plums
Gobbiebag Brown 180 158 130 x4 o'ghomoro berries
Ash Grey 167 162 156 x3 o'ghomoro berries
Corpse Blue 135 149 167 x2 o'ghomoro berries
Lavender Blue 128 120 169 x4 o'ghomoro berries
Raptor Blue 84 120 188 x2 mamook pears
Seafog Blue 93 122 154 x2 mamook pears
Snapped and fed my bird four proc's worth of berries;
Starting Colour - Apple Green
5 berries and four procs later
Results - Sky Blue
. . . well at least its something new? I'm heading for Adamantoise Green, it looks like it's going to take a while.
After landing on Bark Brown a second time, I fed 2 pears, got the new feathers message and ended up on Mud Green.
So Recap. I went Rolanberry Red + 3 Pears > Regal Purple + 8 Pears > Bark Brown + 1 Apple > Regal Purple + 1 Pear > Bark Brown + 2 Pears > Mud Green .
I just keep finding every color except the one I actually want. My First Post with all my experimentation recorded.
Just got the message from Berries #2.. so Mud Green + 2 Berries = ??? (shall find out in the morning)
Does anyone recall what was the maximum amount of the same fruit reported to proc single "new feathers" message? I am trying to decide if I should try 30 O'Ghomoro berries if I manage to get back to Royal Blue.
Thanks to everyone, finally obtained the color I wanted : Chocolate Brown! Why this weird color? Simply because my Chocobo's name is "Chocolat" since 1.0 (not a mistake, it's the french word for chocolate)
Here are the steph I followed :
Got to Blood Red by feeding apples, those steps are already known.
Blood Red + O'Ghomoro Berries = Dalamud Red
Dalamud Red + O'Ghomoro Berries = Rolanberry Red
Rolanberry Red + Mamook Pears = Regal Purple
Regal Purple + Mamook Pears = Russet Brown
Russet brown + Xelphatol Apple = Chocolate Brown
Storm blue rage! Trying to get to storm blue. I've read all the posts, looked at the chart, and experimented. I seem to be stuck in a loop!
Othard blue + Apple = Royal blue
Othard blue + Berries = Royal blue
Royal blue + Pear = Othard blue
Royal blue + Plum = Othard blue
Anyone have a suggestion? Because I'm lost.
So.. my chicken is really stubborn.. as soon as I fed him apples POOF! Regal Purple.. *facepalm* I put him back to Dalamud Red and regrowing more fruit. I think I'm going to feed him a lemon and start over again in hopes that he gets reset and I can do a smooth curve to Rolanberry Red.
so annoyingly i got sky blue from seafog blue by adding green. that wasn't expected. since it seems like there's no way to get to morbol from where i'm at on the chart, i went ahead and fed 4 o'ghomoro berries, each of which gave me a new feathers growing message.
i had hoped to find a new way to morbol green from the turquoise end of the spectrum but i don't have tons of spare fruit to keep feeding it to see if that works. so now i'm going to approach it from the blue end of the spectrum since that seems to be a known way of getting there.
i know feeding multiple times and getting multiple feathers messages isn't very scientific, what can i say. got frustrated with my current route and just want to see results now. :)
Starter Colour - Sky Blue
Fed - 4 Berries (1 proc)
Result - Turquoise Green
. . . that was certainly not what I was expecting but I'll take it. Let's hope all he wants now is a few pears to get to Adamantoise Green.
Thanks! I guess, I will have to try something else.
EDIT: I have managed to get Royal Blue from Regal Purple. Trying to feed Cieldalaes Pineapples now.

Update on Mini Moose's route to Wine Red:
Desert Yellow to Millioncorn Yellow (Apples x4)
Millioncorn Yellow to Pumpkin Orange (Apples x7)
Pumpkin Orange to Sunset Orange (Apples x11)
Sunset Orange to Blood Red (15 Apples)
Blood Red to Dalamud Red (4 Berries)
Dalamud Red to Rolanberry Red (15 Berries)
At this stage, she became a bit paranoid about falling into the regal pit and tried to avoid it entirely by doing one feather process from pears (3 pears) and two from berries (1 berry, 4 more berries). This number of processes took a JP player from Rolanberry to Wine, but that player had been feeding bulk fruits the entire time, so I anticipate that she will land on russet brown, kobold brown, grape purple, or midnight blue. I realize this step will be inadmissible to this thread's theorycrafting, but to her that's worth a chance at avoiding the regal pit (watch, we'll get it anyway, because RNGesus).
