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

I think the only RNG here is if the fruit will proc the change in new feathers? If someone is just going buy someone else's # of fruit to get the color you wanted. It might not use the same # on your chocobo. Instead count the number of new feather change

Old Color: Deepwood Green -> R25 G36 B28

Given 2 Valfruite

Current Color: Hunter Green R34 G68 B38

Desired Color: Soot Black R37 G35 B30

Any ideas on what to do next to try to get soot black? I was thinking giving him 6 mamook pear to lower the Green?

Please let me know >.<

^ This seems to be correct.

Philio, Hmm, at this point I think the safest way (might be expensive tho) would be to feed one of each (with proc that is)
Might be wrong tho

Lumidus, yes the number of fruit is irrelevant, what matters is the number of procs you get

Will give this a shot as soon as my crops come in, thanks for the suggestion.

Update on my plum purple predicament: 5 pears from plum purple got me to ceruleum blue.

You need to keep in mind that the Chocobo's starting color is Desert Yellow. Desert Yellow is initially very high in REDs high in GREENs and low in BLUEs. You added REDs (making the value even higher) and BLUEs (raising it up) while slightly reducing the already high GREENs by a little amount.

The result: Pink.

Just because on a normal color wheel Red and Blue make purple, you also need to consider what color you are adding it to initially.

The Color wheel and a computer's RGB color pallet don't work in exactly the same fashion.

Adding reds and blues didn't make pink because 'red' was increased and 'green' decreased. It made pink because red+blue=magenta. If you had a 100% magenta (pink) chocobo, made by feeding lots of red and blue increasing fruits, changing the level of GREEN is only going to affect the intensity of the color (light magenta, dark magenta.)

Rolanberry Red should be about two steps from Blood Red using Berries.

I can't say how many you'll need. However, I'm fairly certain using berries will produce this:

Blood Red > Dalamud Red > Rolanberry Red.

If you do it in two 6hr sessions (one session of berries until you get "new feathers", stop, another sessions of berries until "new feathers", stop), you should hit it with a very good chance. But if you don't, let us know what you get!

Thank you very much. I will try this and update how it goes.
