I can confirm that the Snow White "recipe" is not 100% correct but like 90%.

- 15 Plums
- 6 Pineapples
- 12 Valfruit

First feed got bone white but just fed him 2 more Plums and finally got snow white, it seems that some people got snow white on the first feed, also read that you can get snow white if you only feed him plums (don't think it's possible with only plums thought).

Update on my endless black loop. I'm at Ink Blue and as suggested to me I did 2 Pineapples and 1 Valfruit... baaaack to Kobold Brown. I went to Kobold Brown last time by using just 1 pineapple.

I think my next step is to "bottom out" my RGB by darkening all the way then math my way up with lightening fruits to try and get to soot range.

Leonesaurus recommended using 2 pineapples 1 valfruit and 1 plum. think that lack of a plum made the difference?

if his theory is right and the fruits do +5/-5 values assuming you were set at
R/G/B values
22/26/34 for ink blue

your new values would be
37/31/29

this is exceptionally close to soot black at 37/35/30 but his other theory is that soot black requires the colors to all be in the 30's range. your blue value was at 29. this might explain why it went back to brown

So in terms of math, how are we treating this?

Deepeners do +5 to primary and -5 to secondary? Berries +5 blue -5 red/grn?

Lighteners do what, the opposite? Pineapples do -5 blue and +5 red/grn?

Is that the correct math thinking on this?

i'm currently at midnight blue, aiming for soot black or possibly ink blue if it happens to land there i might keep it... i've fed it 3 pineapples and 1 berry. i'm still not sure whether that was actually the right decision or not. any suggestions on this? this whole colour system makes my brain ache and so far i've just been going of what other people have tried but not ended up with quite the same results, so it's not like i actually have any idea what i'm doing. heh.

thats the current theory i suppose. im doing the ink blue to soot black test by doing 2 pineapples 1 plum and 1 valfruit.

will post results in 5 hours unless leonesaurus posts soon to say that doesnt work

edit: im currently stuck in the ink blue>kobold brown>deepwood green loop

Leoneasaurus should have results but I don't see him in player search so assuming he hasn't checked.

I'm in the same situation as you,got midnight blue and aim for soot black.i've fed 3 pineapple 2 apple 2 pear instead,maybe your outcome and my outcome might give us a new direction or maybe both of us will get soot black lol the result will come out in 2 hours.

Stuck on cactuar green, trying to get to hunter green or deepwood green. Any tips?

In my opinion it's not, but whatever. Seems everybody thinks this is correct *.*

i dropped with 1feather msg with 14xValfruit from colibri pink to plum purple. So thats a decrease in every value, which would not apply to the theory above.
