Chocobo Dye - The Missing Manual

[Syrehn]

My FC has been experimenting with O'ghomoro berries only (deepen blue hues). If they stop at color change, they have been able to repeat the results multiple times. This is the path for the berries:

[197,139, 79] - Cork Brown
[178,157,105] - Ul Brown
[180,158,130] - gobbiebag brown
[140,122,101] - Shale Brown
[130,128,125] - Goobbue Grey
[128, 120,169] - Lavender Blue
[114, 75,101] - Plum Purple
[ 41, 81,130] - Othard blue
[ 34, 42, 96] - Royal Blue

And berries stop doing anything after that

Problem is that all of the RGB values are fluctuating and there isn't a consistent increase or decrease to anything that's happening. How does the manual explain this transition?

The issue here is that we're missing variables so it makes it hard to attempt the math. It probably took different amounts of berries for X, Y, Z of your FC members to trigger their "Feather's" message. This means they were shifting around in the spectrum differently but didn't push to the next dye range (i.e. Orthard Blue to Royal Blue).

What I believe is happening (this is all research pulled from the 190+ Chocobo Dye R&D thread) is that as you feed berries 2 of your RGB values are getting pushed into the next dye range (even if the 3rd isn't quite there) and then you're triggering your "Feather's" message; this ties into the belief that each Dye has a value "range".

Even though we know the RGB's for certain dye's, and 1 "Feather" message pushed you all to the same colour, it's very unlikely that each FC member (or anyone for that matter) are sitting at the exact RGB dye value of the new colour. It's more than likely each person is hovering in the dye range which in turn makes the calculations not an exact science.

Does that make more sense to you?
