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

Right I guess what I was getting at was I gathered as much the docs weren't working so I was wondering what people think I should feed it now to go from Blood Red to Dalamud Red, like which fruits just apple?

Seems like a lot of RNG is effecting ppl so I don't want to lose red completely, I just want a more vibrant red ^_^

Blood red in RGB is 145 59 39 and Dalamud is 120 26 26
More green, slightly more red and a bit of blue should make the difference. So apples, pears and berries, try one at a time and mind the successes when feathers changing.

Bevral also posted from her experience. Whichever the case, go slowly and you should get there.

Friend just got Snow White by feeding 11 plums (8 messages) from the starting Desert Yellow.

Still Ink Blue after this last session. My bird is determined to stay this color. This go around I did the following:

Valfruit - no message
Plum - no message
Valfuit - Feather message
Plum - Feather message

So hopefully now my RGB is... R > G > B at very low values, which SHOULD be Soot Black. Will report back in 6 more hours.

Best of luck! Fingers crossed!

I dont suppose anyone has figured out any way to either go to from Dalamud Red to Gloom Purple. Or base to Gloom Purple? I know it's kind of random but anyone have anything to say about it?

10 apples + 5 pears: Desert Yellow -> Meadow Green
1 apple/1 plum/1 pear: No change from Meadow Green

First try: 1 O'ghomoro Berry... No message. I didn't know better then, so that was a waste.


Second try: Goobbue Grey









Third try: Lavender Purple (shouldn't it say Lavender Blue?!)








I was really aiming for Iris Purple, but I think maybe this is a better match for me!
Let me know if you need any more information

So correct me if Im miss counting, Im tired at the moment. That looks like 13 Messages with only O'Ghomoro Berries?

Judging from the posts, it looks like:
Deepen r = +r -g -b
Deepen g = -r +g -b
Deepen b = -r -g +b

Lighten r= -r +g +b
Lighten g= +r -g +b
Lighten b= +r +g -b

My hypothesis:
1. Feeding different types can overwrite the effects, resulting in lower net effect
2. Feeding all 3 darkening equally results in net drop in color (i.e. -r -g -b)
3. Feeding all 3 lightening equally results in net increase in color (i.e. +r +g +b)
4. Colors are rounded to the nearest in game dye color. You only get message if you successfully change the color to next one in palette. But it can also mean you changed back to the original color you started with.
5. #3/#4 combined says for darkening foods, the +effect on the primary shade is higher than the -effect on the other 2. The reverse for lightening.

I got Celeste Green by feeding mine: 15x Doman Plum and 3x O'ghomoro Berries.

Beginning to wonder if it's even possible to get soot black on your chocobo.
