From the first few i've seen floating around who use only one type of feed, the colour thats meant to darken or lighten actually stays the same and the other colours move. The RGB figures have been rounded by up or down.

Desert Yellow (220,180,90) ----> 1 O'Ghomoro Berries -----> Aldgoat Brown (160,135,90) [-60,-40,=]

Desert Yellow (220,180,90) ----> 2 Xelphatol Apples -----> Millicorn Yellow (220,160,50) [=,-20,-40]


This indicates that by darkening blue you are infact removing hue from red and green the one 2 steps away dropping double the one closest.

This was a very shallow test and is in no way fact.

this is a good moment to quote this:

The French / German / Japanese patch notes list COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COLORS than the english notes.

Xelphatol Apple: English says Red, te others also say Red.

Doman Pum: English says it lightens red, others say Light Blue

Mamook Pear: English says Green, the others also say Green.

Valfruit: English says it lightens green, the rest says Purple.

O'Ghomoro Berries: Englsih says blue, the others also say Blue.

Cieldalaes Pineapple: English says it lightens blue, the rest say Yellow.

Make sense. Think about that cork brown...so the guy feed his chocobo 3 berries and 3 apples, it will remove 3 red 6 green 3 blue. Original chocobo colour is 219 180 87, cork brown is 179 139 79, so that is (-40,-41,-1)

This is actually and extremely good observation and theory. I like it a lot. It would mean, however, that in order to get Soot Black [37, 35, 30], some serious voodoo is going to be required. So it looks like each items is ~6 value +/-, which matches almost perfectly with the Cork Brown balance. Once the system calculates the new color, it finds the actual color with the smallest deviation from the ideal color.
