And it gave me Millicorn Yellow. I gave him one apple and "growing new feathers!" popped up. We'll see what it'll be. I'm guessing Sunset Orange?

It *should* likely be Pumpkin Orange before Sunset Orange using only Apples from Millicorn Yellow.

Awesome. I'll see what it does and report after the six hours are up!

Maybe I shouldn't have feed him all those pears and berries first. :/ Seems like a waste in hindsight.

I ended up with Coeurl Yellow instead. XD

Geez I was hoping I was on the right track for Dalamud Red, too.

Coeurl Yellow has very saturated blue, so maybe I should try lightening? Or maybe I should stuff him with more apples...?

So far it's been:

Desert Yellow (Start)
6 apples, 9 pears, 3 berries -> Millicorn Yellow

1 apple -> Coeurl Yellow

Yey for results.

Originally I had the following for the apple-only line of feeds:

Desert Yellow > Millicorn Yellow > Pumpkin Orange > Sunset Orange > Blood Red.

That was my path up the apple line (new feather x1, stop).

But reviewing back the pages, I learned Mesa Red can occur in between Sunset Orange and Blood Red, which clearly I didnt get.

So what happened in your case has two possibilities:

1) You got simply got a color that I skipped over on my feeding, which is a common occurrence.
2) Your previous feeds might have shifted your color line a bit different then a pure Apple feed.

I would maybe just do exclusively apples for the next feed to see where it gets you.

Btw, again not 100% (lets say 95%)...Blood Red + Berry till 1 new feathers *should* = Dalamud Red

EDIT: My test chocobo that was Blood Red just turned Dalamud Red with one Berry / new feather feed.

I think I did indeed skip over a few colors. I searched through the thread and saw this post from Tinsley:

these numbers are only the ones that gave me the plumes are changing prompt

1st feeding : +6 darken green = cream yellow
2nd feeding : +2 darken green = Honey yellow
3rd feeding : 6 darken red, 2 darken blue = coeurl yellow
4th feeding : 8 darken red, 10 darken blue = blood red

i want dalamud red but not sure what to feed now..

It seems like the game does keep track of what you've feed previously. I had started with 6 apples, 9 pears, 3 berries.

She got Coeurl Yellow from 6 apples, 8 pears, 2 berries. In different feedings, but still. Interesting...

I just fed my choco 6 apples and 6 berries. Stopped when it finally gave me a proc. It's definitely different from her 8 apples, 10 berries. But I do have that extra pear and berry that's there somewhere. Hope I get similar results to her Blood Red.
