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

[Ravenguard]

my choco is currently storm blue at the moment and before that was void blue. i'm trying to get soot black. got a guess on something i should try?

I should create an official preface I can copy and paste stating, please don't hate me if this doesn't get you to your exact preferred color. Though, let me see if I can offer some guidance at the very least.

Storm Blue
30R 58G 107B

Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

Now there may be a more "efficient" way to get down to these values, but this is kind of a "off the top of my head" here. Try something like this:

x1 O'ghomoro Berry
x6 Mamook Pear
x9 Xelphatol Apple

What I'm banking on, is this will get you into the ballpark of Soot Black. Then, when you're closer, we can make small mofifications from what color you land on to the eventually preferred color.

i understand that you are just guessing at best right now but any little information will help. do the numbers you are giving mean the amount of times that you see the growing new feathers message or is that the total amount of the fruit itself?

Ahh, sorry for the misunderstanding. The "times X" indicates the total amount of fruit of each type you should feed him in one go (all at once).
Each fruit you feed may or may not trigger its own "color has changed" message as it adjusts the values behind the scenes.
If you feed all the fruits I listed above, you should see at least one "changed colors" message, but even more than that is likely.

FOR SCIENCE!

following that amount of fruit landed my bird on royal blue which is only two steps down from storm blue. maybe that will be some help for the calculations you are working on.

Alright! Let's take look at the current colors:

Original: Storm Blue
30R 58G 107B

Current: Royal Blue
34R 42G 96B

Desired: Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

You're on the right path, and now need to continue reducing BLUEs. You want the RED to change as little as possible in the process. Try this for your next feed:

x5 Mamook Pear
x5 Xelphatol Apple

Whileyour REDs and GREENs should stay relatively even, it will again drastically reduce your BLUEs (which is the goal as you move toward Soot Black).

that ended up giving me grape purple which is about 20 away in reds and blues and very close to the green value for soot black. what do you think i should feed it next?

Alright, here's where it gets very tricky and will possible require some tweaking.

Current: Grape Purple
52R 26G 34B

Desired: Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

I would personally try:

x2 Mamook Pear
x1 O'Ghomoro Berry

Going off an average that the fruits will give +/-5 (which all I've used in all my past posts for ease of calculations) you should end up around 37R 31G 29B, give or take a few points.
If you don't receive "plumage color change" message, then we need to analyze were you might be in the dyes "color range".

Good luck!

fed two pears, got the plumage change message after the first, and one berry which gave me the growing new feathers message. we will see how this ends up in six hours when i get up for work.
