Here's mine! Apple Green!

Finally landed at Slate Grey, I feel like I'm so close! Now it's just a question of what do I feed him next to try for black, 10 of each lightening fruit? Please help, I don't want to mess this up and end up 5 steps backwards =X

Lightening fruits would take you the opposite direction of soot black. you want to feed it I think 10-15 of each darkening fruits may be a good start. Although its assumed right now that you get somewhere between (+/- 5-10) per fruit. so 10 should be a good starting point

[Esutiben]

All fruits technically count.

Please see my above post

If the message for changing feather doesn't happen for him and he just feeds the fruits without the proc, then he will not get a change in colors. They may change within the range or get close to another but until the proc, there is no change.

Edit: I just re-read both and I guess in the end we're both saying the same thing.

Starting Colour: Mesa Red
118R 51G 4B

Desired Colour: Wine Red
62R 17G 14B

I would try the following "Darkener" combo:

x5 Pear
x9 Beries
x3 Apple

This combo should result in an RGB of around 63R 16G 9B (assuming +/-5 average integer and using the original RGB spreadsheet) and should push you into Wine Red range. Remember your mileage may vary. For Science!

Thank you so much. I'll try this when I get home! I appreciate the help

Trying to get to Lotus Pink reliably, like many others. Thus far, I've figured out Snow White and some ugly, sickly-looking pastels.

I've stopped at the first feather-change message each time. (Not skipping any colors.)

From Desert Yellow, 5 Doman Plum -> Cream Yellow
From Cream Yellow, 3 Doman Plum -> Bone White
From Bone White, 2 Doman Plum -> Sylph Green
From Sylph Green, 3 Doman Plum -> Snow White
From Snow White, 1 O'gho Berries -> Sylph Green
From Sylph Green, 1 Valfruit -> Snow White

Hopefully this info helps someone. (Looking at you, guy making helpful chart.)

Feed my choco nothing but O'ghomoro berries, (about 15 over three different moltings) and now I have a nice Othard blue.

Thanks! Got confused with values, was thinking I needed to lower numbers and therefore lightening fruits. Just fed 9 apples, 9 pears, 10 berries. Fingers crossed

[Torchic373]

Desert Yellow (start) -> 6 apples, 9 pears, 3 berries
Millicorn Yellow -> 1 apple
Couerl Yellow -> 6 apples, 6 berries
Pumpkin Orange -> 6 apples, 2 berries
Sunset Orange -> 7 apples, 3 berries
Blood Red -> 4 berries
Dalamud Red!

Yes! I finally got it. Thanks guys for all the help!

I know the values are

But I can't seem to break the pattern to get it into Soot Black.

So yesterday i gave my Rose Pink Chocobo 2 Valfruits (got one feather message) and 8 Plums (one feather message) and got Colibri Pink. Not quite what i was going for, but cute nontheless.
