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

I was at Ink Blue (the darkest blue, even darker than Soot Black) this morning and I decided to feed one Apple. I did receive the Feathers message from the one apple.... 6 hours later, no change. I thought the apple would do it because Soot Black has slightly more Red than Ink Blue and less blue as well. Ink Blue and Soot Black are so similar on the RGB scale that I think I am very close.

Ink Blue - 22 26 34
Soot Black - 37 35 30

So it seems like I need to lower the blue further and keep red slightly higher than green and maybe get them a bit higher?

Now, this is the most recent feeding at Ink Blue to try and aim for soot black.

Pear - no msg
Apple - no msg
Berry - no msg
Pear - no msg
Apple - no msg
Pear - no msg
Apple - no msg
Pear - no msg
Apple - Feathers Message

This is now the 6th feeding session. Will report back later in 6 hours.

Ended up with Lavender Purple.

I was trying to get blue, I am assuming I have to feed him some lighten red fruits? Since I think Red + Blue = Purple

If it is based on feathers changing messages, I know there were two documented reports of getting Othard Blue from 19 feathers changing messages. Though that was starting from Desert Yellow, so results could be different if you're starting from a different color.

If you can remember, can you post what fruit you used to get to Ink Blue from the starting color?

Okay! So here's all the info I can give that resulted in a snow white bo for me.

11/15 Doman Plum's resulted in the "new feathers" message
6/6 Cieldalaes Pineapples resulted in the "new feathers" message
12/12 Valfruit Resulted in the "new feathers" message
Stable: Good

I didn't mix with the order of feeding fruits, just one at a time of the 15 Plums until I was out, then one at a time of the 6 Pineapples, then one at a time of the 12 Valfruit.

Thank you very much for this! I will definitely try it out.

When I got "Snow White" I went Pineapple, Plum, Valfruit, Plum in that order over 3 Feed Cycles. It's possible that the fruit you started with prevented you from getting your desired outcome.

It was all one feeding session.
Here's my log, and my counts of new feathers.

Thanks for the info, I started from Desert Yellow...so maybe if I do more darken blue I'll get a blue colour.

From reading the accounts of people who were going for Snow White using the most commonly used method of 15 doman plums, 6 cie. pineapples and 12 valfruit, they either got Snow White or Lotus Pink. Im not sure whats accounting for the RNG there.

I got to wondering how to correct the color to get snow white from lotus pink. According from petra abelli's info we'd just need to slightly lower the red and blue channels and raise the green a somewhat equal amount.

By RBG -28 +19 -39.

How many Mamook Pears would that take?

I'm PRETTY sure I was on lotus pink before I got my snow white, and all I did was lower red and blue. I think it was 8 plums and 5 pineapples or something like that; I didn't keep an exact count, but I do know for sure I got the message once on the food to lighten red, and once on the food to lighten blue.

I got white by lowering red a lot, lowering green some, and lowering blue a little. Sorry, there were a lot of growth messages and I didn't count. Your mileage may vary.

Sorry, I think I wasn't super clear in my previous response. Since you're starting at Lavender Purple, the exact number of berry feathers changing procs may be different. We've already seen some other discrepancies, like someone who took a total of 17 procs to get to Lavender when he did it in two feedings whereas it only took you 13 when you did it in one.
Wish I could help more, but we just don't know everything about the process yet. =/
