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

1x Pineapple message (1/3 worked - third succeeded) + x1 Plum message (1/1).
= Cream Yellow.

x10 Valfruit message (10/12 - first two no message) + Six Plum (6/6).
= Rose Pink.

x3 Plum message (3/3) + x3 Pineapple message (3/3).
@ 3hrs 38 minutes until he would be ready
x2 Plum message (2/2).
= Snow White!!!

I'm so happy with Rhongo's plumage (and he's rid of the gender confusion of Rose Pink).

I have updated my original post in this thread which can be found over here.

Results for my next feed are ready in less than an hour from now.

Woke up and checked my chocobo this morning do find it Royal Blue (got there in a very round-about way so I won't bother saying what all I fed it o.o ) Liking the blue look, so I just fed it another 20 berries to try and deepen the blue. The weird thing: I didn't get the growing new feathers message once. After 20 berries... anybody else having this change from the past few days? Also it only told me about the choco's plumage changing in 6 hours after the first snack I fed it, not on the following times as it always did before.

To go from Midnight to a darker blue, you need to lower the blue hue by feeding pears and apples. This is what I did to go from Midnight to Ink.

Will give this a shot as soon as my crops come in, thanks for the suggestion.

Royal Blue to Rolanberry Red. Fed him 7 apples all at once and he changed in 6hrs.

I have been reading the thread and found that I was successful on getting new feathers to grow when I fed my Chocobo Blu slowly. I waited almost a minute in between feedings.

For Raptor Blue I feed:
20 Berries and got the "New Feathers" message 18 times (18/20)
2 Plums with "New feathers" message on both.
2 Valfruit with "New feathers" message on both.

Blu is back in the stables and I have fed him
5/6 Pears
6/8 Berries
5/5 Apples

Update in 6 hours...Blu turned out to be Royal Blue. Haven't decided if I want to keep it or work towards getting Ink Blue

Testing the theory of "new feather" confirmations. a fellow FC member is attempting to get Lavender purple using the list I previously listed.
Our goal is to gain 4 valfruit, and 10 berry confirmations, to match my feedings from earlier.
Assuming this works, we will have a confirmed formula to get lavender blue from desert yellow.
Howver part of me feels as though we are wasting berries. Perhaps only 8 confirmations would be enough to obtain lavender?
Anyroad, will post results as soon as possible.

I've got Dalamud Red from Blood Red. I gave my Choco 5 O'Ghomoro Berries and had 3x the feather message.

Updated for the third time. Progress is halted as I am out of food for now.

I fed 5 berries, 5 fruit, 5 plum in that order in one sitting to get the Ash Gray color. I got Gobbiebag brown.
https://flic.kr/p/ozWKXK

I fed 5 more berries and got Iris purple

Ended up back at Dalamud last night, and now back at Rolanberry. I fed it 10 berries, (only 1 gave feather message) so assuming Dalamud to Rolanberry is 1 darken blue message.

Today I just gave it 10 berries and 4 pear, only the last 3 of each gave the message, was trying to keep it even with the green and blue message wise.
Will report back in 6 hours with what happens.

I was @ Blood Red this morning, so I tried feeding it a berry, like someone else mentioned to get to Dalamud Red, but even after 12+ berries, I got no message. I then went on to try more apples; 18+ apples and no message. I then tried 18 pears and nothing. >.> I'm so confused.

Yeah it is confusing at times. I am at rolanberry now but I want to get it a few shades lighter. Not sure what to do.

I had answered this for you previously. I'm pretty sure that Sky Blue is max cyan, all you should have to do is feed it plums.

I managed to go from Cream Yellow > Bone White > Cream Yellow

Sadly I don't have the logs of the last feed.

Was trying to shoot for Snow White.

I had a Royal Blue and received no "new feathers" message in my feeding of 12 Berries.. then I ran out of berries. Perhaps no more blue can be added, or it becomes more difficult?

Yeah same thing happened to me so I went the red direction with apples now I'm too dark and need to lighten him up a few shades.

I reset my chocobo to Desert Yellow and gonna aim for Ink Blue this time.According to Bluerukus's Method,he've gone from Aldgoat Brown -> Abyssal Blue -> Midnight Blue -> Ink Blue and i'll follow that method step by step
My 1st session here : 3 O'Ghomoro Berries,no message pop yet
1 Mammook Pear,still no message pop
1 Xelphatol Apple,yet still no message pop
So at this point i decided to add 1 O'Ghomoro Berry and then message "beginning to grow new feathers" finally poped
now,i'll wait for the result and see if i can get Aldgoat Brown or not.wish me luck.

To add to the experimentations, following this color theory:
Apple +R -G -B
Pear -R +G -B
Berries -R -G +B
Plum -R +G +B
Valfruit +R -G +B
Pineapple +R +G -B
*Please note that for this, I am only counting feeds that result in "New Feather" confirmations*
Feeding my lavender purple Chocobo a Valfruit, under the assumption that the valfruit will increase red and blue values. Desired result is iris purple(*Hypothesis that if result is not desired, reversal would be obtained by feeding a pear.*): Results pending
Feeding Goobue grey chocobo 1 valfruit, plum, and berry. Intended result is to bring chocobo from grey to any shade of blue. Results pending
Feeding Blood red chocobo 1 berry, Intended result is Dalamund red. Results pending.
FC leader fed 5 Berries from desert yellow. Resulted in Ul brown. Fed 1 pear, intention to increase blue hues. Results pending.
Suggesting Valfruits and apples to get a millicorn yellow to a shade of red. will report amounts and results at a later time

Maybe sticking to those will make you end up with some pink shade :0

Thank you so much for the Reply! I will try that :)

I stumbled upon one of the posts for how to get Snow White last night so I tried to get started with just the Doman Plum x15--

But when I woke up and checked this morning it was already there! If other people can't feed your chocobo fruits, then does that mean that the Vals and Pineapples are unnecessary?

EDITED for slight clarity boost.

I also mentioned a few pages ago that my friend reached Snow White with only plums. It seems as long as you don't overshoot it, you can reach it with only those.

Though, RNG is likely involved as well.

If feeding it nothing but Plums gets you white, what if you try the opposite food to get black, whatever food that would be? Do you think that would work?

Royal blue I feed apples for 1 feather proc and got abyssal. Someone on the forum went from abyssal to midnight. Anyone see how they did it? Or does the person themselves know?

Cream Yellow => Bone White = Feed Plums until you see a "Is growing new feathers" message in your chat log. Wait the time => result should be Bone White

Bone White => Snow White = Feed Plums until you see a "Is growing new feathers" message in your chat log. Wait the time => result should be Snow White

2 sessions gives you a greater chance for success and less snacks wasted.

It's *possible* there is a color in between Bone and Snow

Or this could be totally wrong as someone else has reported Desert Yellow + Plums (to the new feathers message) = Sylph Green but the data also suggests you can continue to do sessions wiith plums to get snow white .

My changes so far:
Standard - Creme yellow - Honey Yellow - Lime Green

Aiming for a different green, so I will buy more plums until I get 1 more message.

This is my 'raptor blue' chocobo. bone white > sky blue > raptor blue.

Yeah I was thinking that, so fed him 10 apples... no feather message. Fed another 10... still no message. Now I'm just thinking that either there's a cap of how much you can feed your chocobo over a certain period of time, or that I have some other issue. Though I'll see if the color's changed at all in a couple hours. Maybe I'm just not getting the message even though he's being affected =X

I managed to get a Moss Green Chocobo now!

The Story behind the result:

I wanted a green Chocobo. So i planted some Mamook Pears because it seemed they were in charge of the Green Color (simply following the item description).

When i harvested them i fed my Chocobo exactly one Pear. That was before i knew anything about multible feds. A bit later (maybe 1 or 2h), the 6h hadn't passed yet, i fed my chocobo another batch of 5 Pears. I did not get any messages that told me that my Chocobo starts to grow new feathers. I did not knew about this, that it's kinda necessary. So i just left my chocobo in the stable and went to bed, curious what color it would have the next morning.

Well... it was still yellow! T_T I did not get the color change CS, nothing! Then i looked deeper into the topic and saw that i need to feed quit a few fruits from different kinds to get what i want.

Originally i was aiming for Ochu Green or Moss Green. But sadly exactly about those two colors there was no info in this spreadsheet yet.

So i changed my goal and wanted to have a chocobo that matches the color of my character's eyes and i found that cactuar green was the closest to it. So i went back to the spreadsheet and saw that they already had info for that color up, which made me pretty happy!

So i got myself the necessary fruits: Xelphatol Apple x10, Mamook Pear x10, O'Ghomoro Berry x15

And i fed them in this order:
10x Xelphatol Apple
15x O'Ghomoro Berry
10x Mamook Pear

This time i got the Message: "Featherfern is beginning to grow new feathers!" Pretty much after every feed. Chatlog can be checked here.

Now i just had to wait 6h...

When i came back i got the Color-Change CS and it turned Green indeed! But i couldn't tell at all if this was Cactuar Green or not so i went into the Companion Menu and saw... that it turned Moss Green!

But in the Spreadsheet it had appeared to be more like some kind of Olive Green to me, but if i overlay them now they're in fact very alike and this Moss Green is greener then i thought it would be!

http://eorzea.fantasy-fighter.de/cho...ossGreen07.jpg

And now i think i'll keep that color. It's not to far away from my eye-color either.

http://eorzea.fantasy-fighter.de/cho...ossGreen08.jpg

So here it is! My beautiful Moss-Green Chocobo Featherfern! ♥

Behind the Scene

The Moss Green-Proof

Was Coral Pink, added 2 Apples and 1 Berry. Only 1 of the Apples triggered the feather message, the Berry triggered too.
So 1 Apple + 1 Berry with feather proc = Sunset Orange.
Theorically speaking, then, adding 3+ feather proc on each (Apple and Berry) should give me Rolanberry Red?
Any suggestions?

Tried to make Colibri Pink following the recipe on spread sheet, 8 Valfruit, and 7 Plums, result was Salmon Pink.

I added 5 Berries, 3 Apples, and 3 more Valfruit, and got Colibri Pink this morning.

did it say it was growing new feathers on every feed?

My new beloved Mount.

Colobri Pink

I originally had a pumpkin orange chocobo from feeding mine a lot of apples (didn't count how many messages/apples on the first day), then I grew some berries and pears and fed 11 messages each last night. Woke up to find my chocobo...acorn brown...which basically just looked like a darker shade of yellow. @_@ Now I fed my chocobo another 14 messages worth of berries in hopes that the yellow will go away.

I don't know for sure about the second feed, the first feed it said growing new feathers every time. I think the second feed also said this, but I didn't double check every one.
