hate the color

Was gonna try nothing but apples but I quickly realized the red was maxed after a few and no color uses high red and low others for some reason. Been taking screenshots at each feathers message so I'll post logs at the end when I reach a desirable color.

Starting at Default Desert Yellow

Stable Fair
3x Xelphatol - Feathers change to Millioncorn Yellow

Stable good - This time could go with a lot less xel imo again
14x Xel
2x Ogho feather message
Sunset Orange to blood red

Stable good
7x apple
2x ogho
7x xel
2x ogho
1x val
4x ogho feather message
Blood red to Dalamud red. I feel this one could have just been a few apples and then berries. Apparently just berries at this point goes purple


Seems to me that after sunset orange you need to start adding berries pretty soon to get any new feather messages. To cut down on apples you could probably feed 4 or so then berries. And I completely forgot to take screenshots for the last 2 but what I used is recorded accurately.

Here's the pretty

Wait... are people getting Plums confused with Pears? Most people are seeing Sylph Green as the 1 step with plums from Desert Yellow. A couple have mentioned getting Cream Yellow, but now I see someone say they got Cream Yellow with Pears.

I'd like to add my findings 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

Any suggestions on taking my choco from bone white to snow white? Here is the RGB difference:

What I have:
Bone White
R233
G208
B154

What I want:
Snow White
R226
G221
B205

From what I can tell, I need to decrease red a bit, increase green a bit and increase blue a fair bit. What do people think of the following:

3 Doman Plum
3 Cieldales Pineapple
3 Valfruit

plums until you get "growing new feathers", just plums.

Previous Results

###SOOT BLACK CHOCOBO EXPERIMENT###

Alright, I'm back to report my experiences with dyeing yesterday.

I'm pretty happy overall, and despite the original failure with the Shale Brown result, i managed to get back on track and right now, I'm almost sure I'll get to Soot Black within the next 6 hours, given i've been getting a steady pattern of results.

So, let's get to Experiments:

#1--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Color: Shale Brown

Feeding: 5 Berries (4 feather procs) + 3 Pears (3 feather procs) + 1 Apple (1 feather proc)

Result: Lavender Purple

Reasoning: As discussed in the previous post, i only got one feather proc in my last feeding, which caused some problems with the color balance and raised red above the other colors, instead of decreasing them evenly, and the result was SHALE BROWN. In this feeding i tried to balance back the Red Green and Blue values, and so, i used a heavier dose of berries and Pears. The result was partially successful, but now i needed to even also the green values.

#2--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Color: Shale Brown

Feeding: 5 Berries (4 feather procs) + 3 Pears (3 feather procs) + 1 Apple (1 feather proc)

Result: Lavender Purple

Reasoning: As discussed in the previous post, i only got one feather proc in my last feeding, which caused some problems with the color balance and raised red above the other colors, instead of decreasing them evenly, and the result was SHALE BROWN. In this feeding i tried to balance back the Red Green and Blue values, and so, i used a heavier dose of berries and Pears. The result was partially successful, but now i needed to even also the green values.

#3--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Color: Lavender Purple

Feeding: 3 Pears (1 feather proc)

Result: Goobue Grey

Reasoning: Going back from previous testing, I now had a slightly higher red and blue values, and so,used more pears to tip back the balance hoping to return to the grey color scheme. This time i was 100% successful, and managed to get back to the goobue grey, and so proceed with experimenting.

#4--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Color: Goobue Grey

Feeding: 5 Berries (5 feather procs) + 5 Pears (5 feather procs) + 5 Apples (5 feather procs)

Result: Slate Grey

Reasoning: With this experiment going forward, i tried to see if was possible to descend on the grey scale while maintaining the color balance by feeding even amounts of berries/pears/apples. As theorized, I got a slightly darker shade of grey (Slate).

#5--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Color: Slate Grey

Feeding: 5 Berries (5 feather procs) + 5 Pears (5 feather procs) + 5 Apples (5 feather procs)

Result: Charcoal Grey

Reasoning: I wanted to further test that a balanced feeding would keep dropping the Chocobo's shade of grey closer to Soot Black, and so i used the same amount of fruits i had in the earlier experiment. Result went 100% correct as expected, and now really close to my objective, which is Soot Black.

#6--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Color: Charcoal Grey

Feeding: 5 Berries (5 feather procs) + 5 Pears (5 feather procs) + 5 Apples (5 feather procs)

Result: ????? (Soot Black?)

Now with my previous experiments proving it's possible to go down evenly, and that the difference in RGB value from Charcoal Grey to Soot Black is almost the same to that of Slate Grey to Charcoal Grey and Goobue Grey to Slate Grey, I am confident that in the next 6 hours my chocobo is finally going to turn Soot Black.

I'll be posting results later, in the afternoon.
