Regal Purple > Blood Red.

hmm.. I'm trying to get to sunset from regal purple.. so close but I like the blood red.

[Zuro]

Interesting, so at the deepest green, a green lightener made it black. Trying out a pineapple on my ink blue bird now.

Following these words lead me right where I wanted to go, as well as that spreadsheet with the colors. I automatically assumed things were increased by +6/-6

So finalizing my process, I settled with Corpse Blue. These steps were taken in small batches versus large ones like some here have chosen.

2x Plum and 2x Berries got the new feathers message, which resulted in Lime Green. 1x berry got the feather message and resulted in Ul Brown, 3x Berries resulted in the feather message and Gobbiebag Brown, 1x Pear and 4x Berries resulted in Goobue Grey with two feather messages, 2x plum resulted in Corpse Blue.

Grand total is 10 Berries, 4 Plums and 1 Pear.

Can you point me out in the right way towards soot black from coeurl yellow? :/
I'm so confused with all of this. The more i try to deepen colors, the further from black i get... ;_;

Keep in mind, this is not a complete 100% exact science yet, and will take a few Plumage changes to better guide you toward the color you want.

Here is the color chart for COEURL YELLOW:

182R 129G 3B

I would recommend the following for starters:

x10 O'ghomoro Berry
x3 Mamook Pear

What this should do is greatly reduce your Chocobo's RED color (which Coeurl Yellow is high in) while raising your BLUE color a bit (which it is very low in).
The green will also decrease by a small amount (theoretically).

If you report back the plumage color change after this feed, we can help you again to direct it more toward your desired color or Soot Black.

Start feeding it some berries to raise the blue value, but lower the green and red.

Going to try this value. Will report back in 6-9 hours. I'm GMT and it's 3AM.

Alright so before I start wasting more fruit, would anyone be able to help me get my chocobo from coral pink to grape purple? If anyone is interested in how i attained coral pink, it was 2 sessions. 1st session= 5 Valfruit. 2nd session= 5 O'ghomoro berries and 5 Xelphotol apples.

[RavinousKurohi]

Alright. So going for midnight blue from desert yellow:

Xelphatol apple to start the timer
2 apples no message
4 apples with message
4 pears with message
25 berries with message
1 apple with message
1 pear with message
1 apple with message
1 pear with message

My thought is that with that many berries I might hit the max blue and having apples and pears before and after will help darken it without losing too much blue.

5 hours left 'till result.

And the result is:


Regal Purple!

I have now fed it:
1 pear to start timer
1 pear with message
2 berries with message

Here's hoping for midnight blue in another 6 hours.

GMT+1*

UK and Ireland on Daylight savings is GMT+1. Only reason I say this is for future reference as Server Time will follow your local time. However, live letters will continue to use GMT time zone reference. So right now if they say LL at 4pm GMT, it will be 5pm for you because of daylight savings putting you on GMT+1.

Anyway, back to this:

Following these words lead me right where I wanted to go, as well as that spreadsheet with the colors. I automatically assumed things were increased by +6/-6

I want to try and put together a spreadsheet to do all the calculations, it would require simply putting in the values of your choco's current colours and the values of your desired colours. There are discrepancies I can't take into account such as:

Meaning that a lighten red fruit can decrease the red value from -3 to -6 while simultaneously increasing the green/blue values from +3 to +6; your mileage may vary.

But I am only working on the skeleton of it right now.
