We don't really have a lot of dyes, assuming the "choco scale" works on gear dyes and nor pure RGB values, i would have to count them to have the exact numbers, but i think every item will modify the scale between 10 and may be 30, again just rough numbers.

Correction:
well that makes 4-5 points per item.

That's a long grind for a black choco or white choco if it's pigment based

Which roughly matches the estimate I've posted yesterday:

Each colour would have +2 / -2 steps from "middle" value - or if you want 5 steps of scale - e.g. in total 5^3 (5x5x5) = 125 which covers more than enough all current colours withs space for another 40 future ones.

Based on this you should be able to reach any colour in max 12 (4 + 4 + 4) changes - e.g. in 72 hours / 3 days in case all 3 hues are in the completely "oposite" side of the scale. Realistically though you should average in 6 (2 + 2 +2) to max 8 so 36 to 48 hours. Also - you can always reset back to default Desert Yellow "middle" without waiting using only one fruit so average to get from any colour to any other one should be max 7 fruits used in one and half day ;)

And I think we should already establish some kind of simple notation how to reach specific colours (preferably noting the colours in between as well. Example:

(Default) Desert Yellow -> Hunters Green (the one I want as I use it on most of my gear as well):

1. Desert Yellow & -RED -> Kobold Brown
2. Kobold Brown & -RED -> Light Green
3. Light Green & +GRN -> Hunters Green

*Note this is only example, not the actual "recipe" ;)

Current Results: Still yellow.
Hypothesis: This will continue at least until personal housing is a thing.

If we are limited to paint colors already in game... boy, there's a lot of sht browns to try to avoid. :/

But RGB are light spectrum primaries, not pigment primaries. If it were pigment primaries, the three bases would be like the colors in your printer cartridges.

I'll also be tracking any results I get or people find through my chocobo resource document:

So can someone possibly explain how long you should have to tend to this seeds before being able to harvest them? I am not a gardener by any means this is the first time I've grown anything. I planted last night..? Thanks in advance

Well so far I've only seen things that have a growth cycle of either 3, 5, 7, or 10 days (real time). My guess would be 5 for these. If you want to speed it up you can buy Fishmeal fertilizer from the merchant in the housing area, you can fertilize each plant once every hour and each fertilization shortens the amount of time it takes to grow slightly (how much it takes off is dependant on how long the plant itself takes to grow, but to give you an idea it's about a half hour if it's a 5 day growth cycle)

Thank you very much very helpful
