Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Mtoasty]

I'd like the add my finding from over the past week. Was working toward Rolanberry

This is a result from Lilac purple, I'll add the fruit used for it but at the time I was unaware of the the feather changes until afterwards (15 berries, 8 apple, 8 pears)

Aftwards I made note of every feather change made

Lilac Purple
fed 2 apple 1 valfruit (Feather change) result-
Qiqirn brown
fed 3 apples (feather change) result-
Sunset orange
fed 1 berry (feather change) result-
Blood Red
fed 4 berries (feather change) result-
Regal purple
(this where I noticed a loop) fed 1 apple(feather change) result-
Blood Red
fed 1 berry (feather change) result-
Regal purple

Not sure how helpful that is, but interesting that there was a loop from those colors.

I can Confirm the Blood Red to Regal Purple loop. Just happened to me for the second time this morning as i am now back to purple

I would maybe try adding a few pineapples to reduce blue values.

I recently just got my experimental bird from Blood Red > Dalamud Red, but I had started the process with only Apples, and then 3 berries with 1 new feather message got me to Dalamud.

And from other information I've seen, there is another red color (Rolanberry Red) between Dalamud Red and Regal Purple that you can get if you were to use berries on Dalamud Red, or apples on Regal Purple.

Sounds like your 2 stages behind me.

8th stage Finished.

Started as Rolanberry Red, Fed 1 Berries and received "New Feathers" message, end result.... Regal Purple. ugh.

My Old Post has been updated with this. I will be starting next stage immediately. Going to continue with Berries, see if I hit this loop other people have. Hope I get something different than the loop since I'm coming from the maxed red side.

Current Color: Royal blue (34/42/96)

I'm trying to get soot black. So far I've been feeding a lot of berries and some pears/apples and got royal blue.

I fed 25 berries, 7 pears and 7 apples now but still didn't get a message that the feathers will change. Is this because the R/G values can't decrease any further? Or am I missing something?

I'm thinking about feeding pineapples to decrease blue and increasing red/green to get them around the same level and then decrease all three values equally.

No more berries can be added to the Royal Blue. We have found that if you have used 15-20 of a snack and no "new feathers" message appears, then that color won't accept that snack any more. My recent feeding took 13 snacks and my husband's took 14.

Except, you know, when this happens.

Saw a post yesterday and forgot to copy it, someone went from blood red into deeper red using 70+ apples.

This does agree with the trend I am seeing from apples, as you go deeper into the color scale, the more apple it requires. Currently I have stopped at blood red (30+ apples) and I do not have the supply to keep doing this route if the next jump is 70+ apples.
