Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Percyphanie]

Thank for making this thread OP... I think the other thread is hopelessly lost in 'the spreadsheet'. Glad to see someone looking for actual results.

It would be great to update 1st post (or create your own spreadsheet... scary thought) showing the results in an easy to read format.

Thanks again.

It's not a problem. I wasn't seeing much headway coming from the other thread as far as getting clear definition of the way the system works. As far as creating a spreadsheet and updating the 1st post, I'm working on that as well. I'm in the process of setting up a spreadsheet on Google Drive right now. I may have to do a few different spreadsheets, because I want one where I can keep track of data that's coming in that other people can't edit (so we don't get people fudging things to throw us off), but I also want to set up one where I can set up some sort of format that people can copy/paste and keep track of their own results or add data to joint projects.

A very basic question, but an important one ---

How was the RGB numbers derived in the original sheet? In other words, how were those figures verified that is consistant with the in game color?

I honestly have no idea. That's why I'm waiting for more information before I post anything.

Super tired now, it's late here. I'll try to update the original post with relevant links tomorrow.

I did not do it myself, and I cannot say for sure, but from what the original Spreadsheet creator said, I believe it was obtained with screenshots of the Dye Interface and a color picker in some Photoshop variant. It's actually fairly clever to do it that way, the UI element is not affected by game lighting or conditions, and because the color was maintained internally between programs, the HSV of the color should have remained exactly what they actually were from the game's perspective. If I'm correct about his methods, those numbers should be 100% accurate to what the game actually uses.
