Chocobo Dye - The Missing Manual

[Giantbane]

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?

You're missing the point. By feeding it ONLY deepen blue berries, the blue value goes up, goes down, goes up, goes down, goes up and then finally goes down. The red at least consistently goes down, but the green also fluctuates.

Which makes this somewhat false to some degree:

DEEPENS BLUE = Make the BLUE MORE vibrant, and opposing colours (RED and GREEN) LESS vibrant automatically. (BLUE slider increases toward 255, RED and GREEN slider decreases toward 0)

it does make the color move toward a darker blue, but it's not a direct path whatsoever (at least in terms of RGB values). It also doesn't move blue to 255.
