Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[AttacKat]

Hello, I'm that friend. thoughd I'd add a few more details:

Apologies if this has been posted already. This is only a THEORY, so it might be wrong, but it's been working for me so far.

Theory 1:
I "think" that each fruit basically alters +/- 1 of the first digit of the RGB hex value, with a random chance of +/-
a few of the 2nd digit. This means, each fruit basically adds or subtracts around 16 points.

Part one confirmed. After I corrected the Chocobo RGB spreadsheet, all of my results are in multiple of 16s, check my post to see my on going findings.

... If I'm correct about his methods, those numbers should be 100% accurate to what the game actually uses.

Just did the same and can confirm his method works, but the RGB he reported are off. What I am seeing is pattern of 16s, and RGB hex ending in 7s. In other words, only values of 00h, 07h, 17h, 27h ... E7, F7, (FF) are being used in the colors. I am working on a new spreadsheet to reflect these values.

I've been reading some other peoples theories where some of the fruits do multiple things at once, which then really complicates stuff.

Just on the deepen red, I am seeing patterns of
-16 | 16 | 32
32 | 48 | 16
16 | 16 | -16
32 | 48 | 16
16 | 16 | -16

A quick grab of someone's result on a different fruit, I am seeing
64 | 48 | -16
16 | 0 | -80

So I will have to gather more results to come up with a more solid pattern.
