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

For some reason I have this horrible feeling it's only going to change the feather tips, like the legacy/recruit one. It might actually be the whole chocobo, but remember, this is SE lol

"Seeds suitable for cultivating O'Ghomoro berries─a favorite amongst chocobos, and known to deepen the blue hues of their feathers."

Nah, doubt it. It's definitely gonna be the whole chocobo. Would be freakin' weird if the fruits to alter feathers just aimed for the tips. If it's just the feather tips, may as well not do it for the amount of time/resources you have to use. The design for wedding chocobos which are full white is gonna come out soon anywho which definitely means, full color cover is doable at the very least. Lastly, legacy peeps would flip countless tables if it were to happen.

inb4 goobbue complaints, different models

was hoping there was going to be pics of the chocos with different colors.

There won't be any pics till tomorrow.

posting to keep track of thread. grow faster seeds!

keep this up.

I believe in you brave Chocobo coloring pioneers.

White Chocobos, White Chocobos everywhere!

I planted all 3 seeds. I used Grade III Gridanian Topsoil. So, I hope I get great yield!

Planted 6 seeds(for each light/dark combo) with shroud 3 soil last night. Will post yield once it's done. Interested in the results(want mah green choco nao!!!)

I had a huge post written up about how I'm applying the scientific method, but I held a button down too long and lost it.

Short of it is, I should have fruit early today. I'm performing two experiments to find out whether the value of the chocobo's feathers (desert yellow) is a true or null value and whether RGB is true or a variant on pigment spectrum using RGB as primary colors (even though that's wrong, it'd actually be a preferable option for a lot of reasons I had outlined in the original post.)

Results should be very informative.

It also came with a warning I'm eager to post anyways: If you're not willing to gamble, WAIT a while before attempting to color your chocobo. Any assumptions you make about the default state of the chocobo and the color scale could be wrong and very costly. (Especially if you're buying fruit from the first round that will inevitably be up on the MBs for absurd prices.)

Maintenance is coming up and will delay me a bit, but I'm still hoping to have results posted soon.
