I'm not sure if this will help anyone who is stuck in the colour loop on their attempt to get Soot Black but it appears that "AttacKat" has revised the RGB numbers on the spreadsheet we've been using:

It's possible doing the math using these new values and adjusting fruit could push the colour looper's into Soot Black; haven't tried this personally though. FOR SCIENCE!

Syrehn: According to that excel:

Midnight BLue: 31/31/63
Soot Black: 47/47/39

3 Pineapples = from MB you get: 46/46/48. Damn it, that might do it

Update on mine:

From Aldgoat Brown to Lavender Purple - 8 berries, 7 messages.

Here is mine, it's plum purple. before it was coral pink but I think I've fed it like 10 O'Ghomoro berries to get to this color, I want to go darker, but as I understand I need to lighten all the colors to get to like grape purple?

--Just Fed him 3 Apples and 2 Berries 6 hours agoago. The new color now is deepwood green--

What would be the next step to get him to soot black? I heard 1 Valefruit but I have tried that before and got me to hunter Green. Any advice?

Old Color: Hunter Green R34 G68 B38

Fed 3 Apples and 2 berries VVVVVVV

New Color: Deepwood Green R25 G36 B28

Desired Color: Soot Black R37 G35 B30

Any suggestions on how to get from Cactuar Green to Nophica Green?

[VinylAlewyn]

Yeap, all in one go. Though I don't remember how many feather messages was that, I usually just wing it.

[AutumnsHollow]

I decided to try for sunset orange instead, so I gave my chocobo 3 valfruit today, and got one feather message, so later today I'll see what I get.

On another note I found out that another friend is also trying for a dalamund red chocobo! He fed his chocobo 40 apples, and got 26 feather procs, and 5 berries and got one feather proc. He was following this spread sheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=215539068

It must be wrong though, because in the end he got a sunset orange chocobo.

Just logged in today to a sunset orange chocobo!

And my friend ended up getting a blood red chocobo. Oh and he fed his sunset orange chocobo seven valfruit and got two feather procs.
We're gonna toy with fruits to find out how to get dalamund red from there.

Well, unless I'm missing something, based on the math we should be hitting it based on whats there, just like before. For instance, Kobold Brown [55r] [39g] [31b] with a Doman Plum = [-8r] [+8g] [+8b] which = [47r] [47g] [39b] which is their Soot Black. It also doesn't explain at all why going from say, Ink Blue [31r] [39g] [47b] with a Pineapple = [+8r] [+8g] [-8b] (should = Soot Black numbers) actually equates to Kobold Brown [55r] [39g] [31b]. That is a [+24r] swing, [0g] *same* and [-16b] difference. The numbers just aren't adding up here..

Am I missing something that was explained different in that thread? Honestly, its odd we are looping at all in the first place when you think about it.

[Leonesaurus]

ive been bouncing around ink blue, kobold brown, and deepwood green trying various methods. at deepwood green i tried the valfruit and got ink blue. from ink blue tried 1 pineapple and got kobold brown from there tried a plum and got ink blue again. so idk.

my stable condition has always been good though. have we confirmed whether or not stable condition influences values?

This may be a waste of time (kind of ironic when you think about it) but has anyone tried 2 Doman Plums @ Kobold Brown yet? I can't tell what the numbers added and subtracted are exactly, but using that +5/-5 business, I keep getting all 30's, which is where Soot Black is.
