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

feed it an O'Ghomoro Berry till you get the 'feather' message and then post result.

I fed it 1x 'remove red' (plum) and it is now completely snow white.

Basically it's saying:

Plum - Lightens red hues but at the same time increases green and blue hues.
Apple - Deepens red hues but at the same time lessens green and blue hues.
Valfruit - Lightens green hues but at the same time increases red and blue hues.
Pear - Deepens green hues but at the same time lessens red and blue hues.
Pineapple - Lightens blue hues but at the same time increases red and green hues.
Berries - Deepens blue hues but at the same time lessens red and green hues.

If this is true, then feeding my chocobo a Valfruit or 20, from honey yellow, should make him purple or red?

What i am seeing however is people using same recipes and get different results so once again rng is involved in some way.
All info however gives us all an idea of were to start or experiments to try

I've got another thread up where we're trying to collect more detailed data on how colors are obtained.

This could be attributed to what foods are being fed in what order as well. For example someone could list 5 pineapple, 10 berries, 2 valefruit over the course of 3 feed cycles where they used a different food at the start of each feed cycle (i.e Cylcle 1:valefruit, Cycle 2: pineapple).

The next person might attempt to feed the same total # of listed foods but start their feed cycle with a different fruit (i.e. Cycle 1:10 berries, Cycle 2: valefruit).

This is just speculation of course but seems highly likely given the variations being experienced.

Think it'd make it go from yellow to orange to pink.

Hope so. At this point, anything is better than the bright yellow honey lemon is. Hit a dead wall with the other fruits. If this doesn't change his color at all, I might send a report to see if he's bugged.

You fed him a lot of pineapples didn't you

At first. Last night I fed him a ton of darkening fruit, got the feathers will change message, and it didn't change. I've fed him more darkening fruit than anything else at this point.
