Total: 85 (not counting terebinth)

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"
