Ok, so feeding the bird 2 fruits = 1 step color change, but feeding the bird 36 fruits also = 1 step color change? :/
eta:
12:05 Sunflower devours the Xelphatol apple.
12:05 Sunflower's plumage will change in 6 hours

12:06 Sunflower devours the Xelphatol apple.
12:06 Sunflower is beginning to grow new feathers!
12:06 Sunflower's plumage will change in 5 hours and 59 minutes.

There's something that I think is important to know here. It's entirely possible that you can only work one primary color at a time. If nothing else beneficial happens after the first time you see "is growing new feathers", then it might be helpful to know which one you fed him first! If I had to guess, you fed him Pineapples first, meaning "Lighten Blue" and that's all that happened to him. It would also be obvious that "Lighten Blue" was actually removing value from the blue channel. The conclusion being that if you "Lighten" everything, you end up with black. Your bird got darker rather than lighter...... More yellow/less "tan" or grey.

I'm lost.
I've gone to find myself.
If I should return before I get back,
Please ask me to wait.
OK, above somewhere is a post with a screenshot of 3 birds ... the one on the left is mine, and it's honey yellow ... this tells us TWO things:
1) Only one food is affecting the bird (Mine was only fed pineapples)
2) Feeding them beyond the "starts to grow new feathers" announcement either has absolutely NO effect, or is capped at some point ( I fed mine 10 pineapples). we will know in a few hours as one of our guys has fed the pineapples and stopped at the first "new feathers" announcement.
The "above somewhere" bit is here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...here%21/page26
The question then remains, did you feed pineapples first or last (actually a moot question, the pineapples were the only thing that affected your bird)

cant really remember which ones i stuffed first, might've been pines or plums.OK, above somewhere is a post with a screenshot of 3 birds ... the one on the left is mine, and it's honey yellow ... this tells us TWO things:

The real question is how many successive "starts to grow new feathers" announcements did you receive? It might be that "starts to grow new feathers" is what triggers the color change. Based on this, it might be an RNG-based system.OK, above somewhere is a post with a screenshot of 3 birds ... the one on the left is mine, and it's honey yellow ... this tells us TWO things:

Got exactly what I wanted first try, a Slate Grey choco ^.^
Not sharing what I did to get it though :P
Jkjk, I fed 21 O'ghomo berries (darken blue), 7 Xelpatol Apples (darken red), and 7 mamook green things (darken green). Only a couple darker shades of grey/black available, I'd assume adding a couple more of each would give you charcoal grey, then a couple more of each on top of that for soot black?

As we are now learning, your bird was probably only affected by ONE food, the question is, which one, and how many? And the terminology is "deepen" not darken. Still not certain exactly what that means.... that's why we're posting here.Got exactly what I wanted first try, a Slate Grey choco ^.^

I'm all for single food experimentation and stopping at the "new feathers" announcement, so we can know the real deal here.

Eh, I'm gonna have to express my Disagreeance with that idea. I read the posts you're referring to, but prior to that I read that for example Darkening blue adds a small amount of blue and reduces a decent amount of red and green, Lightening blue might reduce a small amount of blue and add red and green. I feel like that lines up better with all the different colors we are seeing after a single session, because this idea supports what we are experiencing with people getting the same results with different combinations.
Either way, I certainly don't feel we're at the point where "probably" is applicable towards the idea of being affected by a single food.
