Fixed it up a bit with all the double colors and the issues I was having with it. Been adding some new stuff aswell. Got a bit from your spreadsheet Snootles, added your description and what we know into it, and ofcourse your name along with Gilgameshkun under special thanks :).

In case no one has said this recently, thank you very much for putting this together! Great job!

Went back to check on it after the plumage change should have happened, and nothing happened. There was no message, no cutscene. My choco was still just Millioncorn Yellow. I do know the difference between the original "The plumage will change in 6 hours" and the feather proc message. And I had the feather proc message with no change.

I believe you, had it happen to several of my guildies as well. Mainly with going from ice blue and working up with apples from desert yellow.

I guess it's just a bad proc? Or something...

I received it too after Shale Brown. I just fed it berries again and I am really curious which colour I'll get next. I really hope for Lilac Purple because then this may show that it's a RNG feather proc that sets you on a 'rare' colour in that line.

FC mate had the same with Valfruit and didn't go from Rose Pink to Coral Pink. Also curious to see what the next colour is now.

Maybe it's an RNG bust and it won't let you go to the next step. Who knows!

Your chart is a pretty damn good visual for this. A lot of people find it easier to read than a spreadsheet. I really was hoping that someone would be able to output all the info into something more readable.

I do see a few links in your chart that aren't reported by many users/submitters/players yet though. I hate to do it to ya, but maybe pour over more of the info in the sheet? I'd happily help ^^

With that said, if you're aiming for Wine Red, don't go down the Pear path on Blood/Dalamud in my opinion. From my experiment with pears on Blood Red, you'd basically be going the wrong way :D.

I am in Dalamud Red ->Blood Red, but since I saw a board post that indicated that Wine Red was received via Dalamud + Apples, this is what I am trying to do (so I'm not using various fruits + Dalamud at this point). It feels like... I have to get a "success" to move on to the Wine Red, but if it "fails" I get smacked a step backward (Blood Red).

I have a feeling we might see some chocobo coloring fixes with this upcoming hotfix.

Slate Grey too Soot Black Any suggestions?

Going by that chart, I keep skipping over colors. Even when feeding one type of fruit and only getting one feather message.

Going to join the fray here and post each step of my progress from Desert Yellow to Grape Purple (one new feathers message from one fruit type at a time). Hopefully I can help corroborate the findings so far, and if something goes horribly awry, hopefully you'll at least be able to help meh fix it! Just need to wait for these apples to finish growing here now that I've accidentally clicked [Post] instead of [Go Advanced]...

Posting some results

mole brown + 2 O'ghomoro berries > gloom purple
gloom purple + 1 Mamoon Pears > charcoal grey
