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

[AstridAllDay]

I was hesitant to use any of the crazy sounding recipes to get blood red so I started just feeding my choco Xel Apples (darken red), these were my results (posted as a running total through the different feeding);

-4x Xel Apples : Milicorn Yellow
-10 Xel Apples : Sunset Orange
-18 Xel Apples : Mesa Red
-30 Xel Apples : Blood red

So somewhere between feeding him 18 (total) and 30 (total) darken red he turned Blood Red, all subsequent attempts to change his color past this have resulted in no "Growing new feathers" messages, I've tried feeding him more apples and nothing, I tried feeding him 5 Valfruit at once and no message, I also tried feeding him 5 berries in one feeding and once again...no message >.<

(Also, in regards to the popular color chart people are using to dye their chocos, my friend followed the Dalamud Red recipe,the exact amounts listed and in the order it is posted, and ended up with a Raisin Brown chocobo so yea...proceed with caution )

Alright so now my chocobo is shale brown >.> not much better than coral pink lol.. any advice as to where i should go from here to get him to grape purple?

I would give a guess of:
15 Berries
10 Pears
17 Apples

I think that should make either Currant or Grape Purple, if you try, tell your result please

since he got orange with way less apples there might be a cap I think

Whoot I finally got Snow White

Funny thing tho, black is supposed to be the most common type of chocobo after the yellow ones while white is the rarest if you don't count the gold one in, yet there are sooo many white and only a handful of black x3

*Goobue grey became Lavender purple.
*Lavender purple became plum purple. Feeding pear to test color reversal theory. Results pending.
*Blood red to Dalamund red on one berry confirmation. This makes two incidents I have witnessed one berry message resulting in dalamund red. possibly a confirmed method to obtain Dalamund red. she is now trying for Rolanberry red with one more Berry confirmation. Results pending. (We're running low on berries. Surprise, lol)
*FC leader turned out gobbiebag brown. Adding pear and valfruit in an attempt to pull out the greens and darken the other hues. Results pending.
*Millicorn Yellow birds have not been fed.

Plum purple to Lavender with 1 Pear confirmation
Gobbiebag brown to Iris purple with 1 Valfruit and 1 Berry confirmation

Result:
Cork Brown

Never fear, I did roughly the same thing, just in a different order, and also got Cork Brown. I was most displeased with that result. So I decided to try and turn that into a shade of red, and based on FC chest history it looks like I did 4 Xelephatol Apples and 2 O'Ghommoro Berries but I can't find any log beyond that to say what order. The red first I believe.

The red color that came out, while called 'Coral Pink' doesn't look pink at all, it's a nice looking red and seems unique so far, and I've gotten compliments from people on that shade so I will attach a picture if I can figure out how to get one off my PS4 and onto here via my iPad. I didn't want to go for an exact color, I had general ideas but wanted to be a bit of a surprise (just not cork brown). Black is cool, white is cool, etc but there's only one true black/with so I hope this one isn't too common because of there being a lot of variety maybe.
