I wouldn't swear to this as a good guide, but it may help you to take you in the general direction in which you want to go.

While Gloom purple is lacking from the charts, to me it looks like Gloom purple is close/between Regal Purple/Abysseal blue. At this point I think just darkening the colors is what you want to do, so maybe try adding more berries, to make it darker. If you do get Abysseal or Ink blue, I think that will put you in the right direction. I'm not the best person to ask, but just a suggestion. In my experience - and failure of 12 attempts to get to black, pulling out color, or trying to cancel a blue, or purple, just resulted in going backwards as far as light/dark went.

You need to lower your red and green by a couple of fruits while keeping blue as is. I would do a couple of berries procs to do that then 2 apples, two pears to keep red and green as is and lower blue back down.

You may do all together or do the berries first and review the values then to adjust.

I was originally going for Iris Purple but it turned out darker than I had expected so I decided to try for Colibri pink instead ^^

First, you need to lower them all across the board, so you may wanna do a couple of sets of all three deepeners, making sure you get the six procs. Blue would still be up so I would then do a couple of pear and apple sets.

yuo can do it all together too, but might overdo blue, so maybe darken across the board first and adjust blue later.

Any idea why my earlier feed of 2 apples and 2 pears brought me from royal blue (34 42 96) to gloom purple (74 62 89) when the red and green should have neutralized each other. No way 2 feeds can bring it up 40 points. SOmething seems to be off with the formula..

I think I'll do something similar to yours. Good luck to us both :)
