So far nobody has yet to figure out the black recipe eh? This is gonna be interesting.

Thank you for that explanation Syrehn. Nicely worded.

Raka, if that's how it worked, then you wouldn't be able to get such deep blues by simply feeding berries.

This. I can't stress this enough. If it worked how you think Raka, it would be impossible to achieve some of the Chocobo colours that people have reported with only a single fruit type (i.e. lighten red or darken red); they require modifications to the other hue values.

Sure you can, as the red and green already present contribute to the overall saturation of color. Blue is the predominant shade, but the others haven't been removed. Bleach a chocobo down to pure white then add only blue and you'll get a different shade of blue than if you added only blue starting from the default color.

I have not seen any evidence that proves otherwise. I've seen quite enough (white chocobos) that prove against the theory you are arguing.

It was all one feeding session.
Here's my log, and my counts of new feathers.

Bless you! I'll start buying the seeds tomorrow and try to replicate the same amount of "new feather" messages.

Those white chocobos were not produced by simply feeding large amounts of one fruit at a time. And where's the black? It's extremely easy with the system you're suggesting. Merely deepen all three, one color at a time, and there you have it. Yet... nobody's produced this black. Why?

fed 3 doman plums then another 12 of the same

[blueruckus]

If you can remember, can you post what fruit you used to get to Ink Blue from the starting color?

Being on my 6th feeding session, I don't have an exact recipe for you, I'm sorry. You get the deep blue by going heavy on Berries, but also on Pears and Apples to keep your Blue levels in check. If your blue is too high then you end up with more common blues you've already seen on this thread.

fed 3 o'ghom then another 12 of the same

Assuming this info is valid it proves, yet again, what Momo and I have been saying about colour values is correct. Given the starting values of Desert Yellow, if the values didn't adjust automatically, achieving White this way would be impossible without using 2-3 types of berries.

I may or may not have it in a few hours.
