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

[Phyllo]

I preface almost every post where I assist someone with a point that states that is isn't an exact science as the fruits don't give a flat "5" to increasing or decreasing color values.
I just use an integer for the ease of calculating. The values a fruit can change a color value appear to range from +/-3 to +/-6.

Some might get a light Pink, or a medium Pinkish-red using the same fruit "because RNG".

That explanation I can accept but the problem is now, is it merely your assumption or a proven fact?
Not that I'm doubting your words but for now we have no precise value whatsoever, I remember someone got coral (I think?) with only two pineapples even tho his(her?) red was really low, which means that there definitely is some heavy RNG in this, but can we actually efficiently predict the value range or is it just another guess like my lucky predictions were?

It is less heavy RNG than you might think, but it exists none-the-less.

I have personally and meticulously gone over many reported feeding results where the reported starting plumage was the default Desert Yellow, and only feed X amount of one type of fruit, to arrive at the estimated value ranges I use in my color value calculations.

I navigate my way around the plumage (RGB) color pallet using math, but it gets exceptionally harder to land on a specific color when the person is one or two shades away.
