Fed him 18 Valfruit & 18 o'ghomorro berries, no Xel apples at all and got my Regal Purple

He turned coral pink after the valfruit, then regal purple after the berries. Happy day

I just finished reading that for example say Apples that are R+ G/B- actually bring red closer to 255 instead of 0.... I always thought it was backwards though....

Which one is correct lol

I'm still trying to get Lotus Pink, but I did wind up with Ice Blue by feeding:

From Sylph Green, X. Apple (1) + O. Berries (2) + Valfruit (3) -> Ice Blue

Your results could vary though.

It's very confusing but it actually does work as R+ means higher number, not lower. It seems to work like light in the end, where more colors go white (closer to 255) and closer to 0 means less saturation, so black. I realized this when adding apples hoping to "increase" to 0 but it actually shot to 80 from 25.
