Congratulations on Soot Black choco. These confirmations on jumping from Midnight and other non-darkest shades is giving me hope. If my Ink Blue + 2pineapples doesn't work. I think my next step would be to get out of this loop by brightening up to a brighter color like Loam Brown or Midnight Blue. This way I have a better idea of where im at on RGB

Had Kobold Brown, fed it a Plum and got Deepwood Green. Fed it a Valfruit and got Kobold Brown again \~_~)/ I don't understand, sigh.

Try feeding two plums now at Kobold Brown, make sure you get two feather messages. I think there's RNG involved here but you're close.

My progress so far: Desert yellow (12 berries, 6 apples, 6 pears)--> Aldgoat brown (15 berries, 3 apples. 3 pears) --> Royal blue

Current: Royal blue : 34R 42G 96B
Desired: Soot black: 37R 35G 30B

I'm thinking feeding it 2 apples and 2 pears and getting 4 procs in total, reducing blue and not really changing red and green. Any suggesions?

To get black you need to feed all 3 fruits at the same time or you're going to be caught in a loop. And possibly use plum/pineapple/valfruit, not berry/apple/pear as everyone assumes. <- our FC's speculation....

if you do that you'll end up in light colors, not dark ones

That will definitely get you closer if not there.

Thanks! I hope I'll get something really close, or hit the jackpot! Will report back in 6 hours.

By now we know that fruits deepen one and lighten 2, what she's doing is the perfect step. Reds and Greens by apples and pears cancel each other out, leaving them alone while both decrease blue by 4, which should add up in a range of -20/-32 blue considering -5/-8 variance for each.

May even try 3 of each but better not risk overshooting.

Starting at Raptor Blue I fed my chocobo 10 berries before I got a growing new feathers message. The result was as expected Othard Blue. Then I gave her 6 apples to get to the next feather message we will see in 6 hours if I hit Storm Blue or not.
