I think that what matters is not how many fruit you feed it of one type, but how many times you get the "growing new feathers" message with each type of fruit.
I think she's beautiful though, what do you think? If anyone attempts for Colibri Pink, could you count how many times you get the feathers message with the Doman and Val and report back here? Although I love this color, I wouldn't mind a more vibrant pink.

The resumption of imports was made possible only through the joint effort of the Grand Companies of Eorzea, who impressed upon the Ishgardians the vital nature of fleet-footed reconnaissance units in dealing with the Garlean threat. So it was that the isolated mountain nation relented and agreed to provide all three Grand Companies with birds—but not without conditions. Reluctant to relinquish their monopoly on chocobo breeding, the Holy See will permit naught but male birds to leave its domain. In response, the other nations have raised their voices in objection, and are seeking to overturn what they deem a profit-driven decision in the midst of wartime.

Not waiting to see how the protest will unfold, the three Grand Companies have proceeded to make provision ahead of the gathering storm. At home, no sooner had word arrived of the return of chocobos than the Maelstrom commissioned Naldiq & Vymelli's with the mass production of reinforced barding in a bid to strengthen its military capacity on land. Jests can now be heard among sailors that the thalassocracy will finally have a cavalry to call its own.

So to keep your blue and head to Light blue... I guess +Doman Plums ... if this is accurate that is.

But as I said earlier - I do think that the 'Feathers' message might be an RNG proc per feed - so count the number of times you get the message with the snacks please - as it might just be that simple.

My FC leader fed his lots of all the lightening fruits and had no change, but he said he never had the new feathers message.

Just the Levin barding head piece :)

To reiterate, I have been reading through this thread and Reddit and there are -major- inconsistencies when it comes to people trying the same recipes. I believe color change is solely dependent on how many messages you get with each fruit per feeding cycle, not how many fruit type you feed them. For science, could we please start keeping track of how many messages per fruit we get when dying our chocos and including that information in our updates?

Did the method for Dalamud Red (Xelphatol Apple x32, Mamook Pear x15, O'Ghomoro Berries x22), got Midnight Blue...

I dunno how but I was able to get mine to Cream Yellow despite aiming for Snow White. I think I just need to add more green and I'll be set.

So currently I've fed my chocobo 1x Apple, then 20x Apple. I'm aiming for a red, Blood Red, Dalamud Red, any -red- red. He's currently at Pumpkin Orange after that. Should I just keep stuffing his face with Apples to get him to become more red until reaching a red I desire, or do I need to use other fruits? The methods seem terribly inconsistent (like Did the method for Dalamud Red (Xelphatol Apple x32, Mamook Pear x15, O'Ghomoro Berries x22), got Midnight Blue...) so I'm just curious as to how I should approach getting him to be red from his current orange. If anyone has ideas, please let me know... n_____n

So and fc buddy gave me chart and i found this so ill post my results.
i got fc buddy to help experiment on this to figure it out and damn to hard lol.
im focusing on one color first red. i have plenty and im going to mess around alot tell i figure it our from what i see people are getting different color with different fruits in different amounts. or same fruits in different amount.
So one color seems easier i fed my own chocobo and a friends one and saw no message.
We waited 6 hours and no change. before this i had given out fruit to other fc members thinking mine or there's would be some shade of red. after realizing ours weren't changing i decided to experiment. i talked to a member who fed one fruit and said he saw this message of 6 hours. so i took my chocobo out to reset its timer if it had one.

i proceeded to feed it tell it said the message so did another member it took us both three fruits to do so. So being confused i said ok maybe the values "numbers" can be different for each fruit based on what ever rng how they were grown etc. after doing so i asked other members to feed there chocobos and they agreed so i thought ok maybe when it says the timer it a different shade or "tier" in the color bar. so think of this i figured then different amount of apple at one point should say different things. like devours but no timer. so think of this i decided to but some fruits to "lighten the red" since mine were still growing and it was late at night. So anyways here what i feed them and i will post result tomarrow when i can.
