When you see "growing new feathers" message, you have effectively pushed yourself from your current color range into a new one.

I'm hoping this is how it works. I'm trying for black and I'm in this Ink Blue > Kobold Brown > Deepwood Green loop. I'm hoping that if I just continue on this loop, eventually the RNG will skew the numbers just enough to get me in to Soot Black. My fear was that my numbers were stuck at a point where it was impossible to get Black without fully restarting but I'm gonna continue on this loop for a while before restarting.
