ok so if void blue is 14 35 61 -- then I feed him a cpl berries and like 2 pears? destination soot black

[CalaQuendi]

Starting to get lost, wondering if anyone can offer some advice. I'm trying to get to Storm Blue, Midnight Blue, or Ink Blue.

Journey thus far---With a some berries and pears I got it to Peacock Blue, took the presumably incorrect spreadsheets advice and fed it a grand total of 25 Berries/10 Pears and got to Othard Blue....

..from there I fed it 7 or 8 apples until i got a fethers proc thinking that would be Storm Blue but I got Gloom Purple.

I just finished feeding it 3 Pears x3 procs and 3 Berries x3 procs.

Should I try anything else before the time is up in 3 hours or just see where I end up?

Current Colour: Void Blue
14R 35G 61B

Destination Colour: Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

You would want to give him a pear but not the berries. Maybe try the following to see if it slides you into Soot Black range:

x3 Apples
x2 Pineapple
x1 Pear


This should put your end values roughly around 34R, 35G, 31B (assuming +/- 5 average integer) which is almost at Soot Black (might still need a bit more tweaking); RNG is still a factor depending on where you're at in the Void Blue values so mileage may vary.

P.S: Don't hate me if it doesn't get you Soot Black

maybe im not understanding the way it works, Wouldn't giving him berries lower the blue (towards 0) while raising red/grn then give some green to get that back lower while raising red again?

Either way its done as I gave him 4 berry messages and 2 pear messages before I seen this post. Will let you know results in 4 hours

You're confusing the effects of the berries and pineapple, pineapple lightens the blue, berries darken the blue, that's why feeding berry would only bring you further from soot black

No, berries "Deepen" (as in strengthen/raise) BLUE and decrease RED/GREEN.

Fruits only have one effect, there is no lighten x and darken y and z, y and z appear darker only because you removed x, but their value never got up, otherwise it'd be impossible to get white in multiple feeds like I did since every step would cancel the previous one.

Unfortunately you are not correct. Please refer to this post before passing on false info.

Phyllo is correct. This is how it works. Been having very predictable results.
