Chocobo Dye Experimentation

Yes I was talking about yours its ok if you're aware of it ^^
Though I think we can imagine people who told you they fed 25x Apple to get Dalamud red did not wait 6H after each "proc" message. So I think you're being fed misleading data of people thinking all proc message really count ^^'

The map is a great idea, that's what I've been missing most, it'll help us know where to go from other colors than original ^^

Alright! Piggy-backing off of ZReport's data, I wanted to see if it takes the same amount of berries to hit Lavender if I feed them all in one go, so I just fed mine until I received 17 new feather messages. Will report back tomorrow morning. =)

Finally was able to get back online after that PSN nonsense. 17 feather procs with berries gave me Raptor Blue.

Will update this with chat log screens later on.
EDIT: Here are the chat logs from the feeding and the results. And an in-game image of Beelzebub.

Yeah I'm sure it probably doesn't even take 10 apples to get there but I don't have enough chocobos to test myself lmao

There's probably something saying effects are diminished after each feeding on the same window ! That would explain a few things. Like first fruit 100% effective, second 95%, etc.

Btw, I got my chocobo to change from Plum Purple(114,75,101) to Gloom Purple(74,62,89) with only ONE berry. That's a lot.

So far I have (from - to - fed) :

Desert Yellow	216,175	80	Desert Yellow	216,175,80	Berry	1		
Desert Yellow	216,175,80	Desert Yellow	216,175,80	Berry	1		
Desert Yellow	216,175,80	Desert Yellow	216,175,80	Berry	1		
Desert Yellow	216,175,80	Aldgoat Brown	156,128,85	Berry	6		
Aldgoat Brown	156,128,85	Raptor Blue	84,120,188	Berry	16		
Raptor Blue	84,120,188	Plum Purple	114,75,101	Apple	5+Pear4
Plum Purple	114,75,101	Gloom Purple	74,62,89	Berry	1

Was going for Royal blue from raptor but did stupid things...

Anyways, I'm beginning to think we're not looking at the good values. Maybe that's not playing with RGB but with Hue, Saturation and Luminosity. What do you think ?

Starting Color: Coral Pink
Stable Conditions: Clean
Chocobo Rank 4

All food fed at the start of the 6 hours:
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change

Basically, fed 8 apples and never got a feathers are changing message.

Result: Coral Pink

That's normal if it's playing with RGB values, look at that extract (all FF colors with higher red than coral pink) :

Coral Pink	200	101	87
Desert Yellow	216	175	80
Colibri Pink	217	149	198
Millioncorn Yellow	226	152	46
Salmon Pink	226	165	131
Snow White	226	221	205
Rose Pink	228	153	144
Bone White	233	208	154
Cream Yellow	241	212	105
Honey Yellow	250	194	37
Lotus Pink	254	202	244

You see that if you increase Red more than coral pink's, you need to also rise Green value a lot to obtain an existing color in FF's world. Apples do not raise Green, so you won't get any change from feeding only Apples to your coral pink Chocobo.

At least I think ^^

My most amount fed to see feathers so far has been 12. If you go beyond 15-20, I'm thinking you've maxxed out the range and no more of that fruit will create a change.

So what item should I be using to increase green and blue levels?

[Jayne422]

I'm making what I have so far viewable. You should be able to see the notes on each color.

Chocobo Color Map

I still have a lot of single step data, but I don't have the colors that connect them to the current map.

Have you gone through my tests to get my data on this, or should I fill out the form?

Doman Plums. They reduce red, thus bringing out the blue and green
