Chocobo dyeing R&D Thread - Post your results here!

And my simulator worked, with no adjustment! For me at least.

Step 1 Gloom Purple (from the chart):
Berry x3 +Feathers (only 1)
Berry x1 +Feathers
Valfruit x1 +Feathers
Berry x1 +Feathers
Berry x1 +Feathers

Step 2 (without waiting, from Vorfield above) Gloom -> Wine
Apple x7 +Feathers (x7)
Pear x2 +Feathers (x2)

And it failed, miserably, Coral Pink Chocobo. I then built the simulator above, and keyed in some tests until it guessed I was at wine red:

Step 3: Simulator Fruit Count (not feathers, didnt reset it either)
pear x15
berry x19
apple x5

pear x5
berry x5
apple x10

SUCCESS, in one, massive correction attempt (surprised me too):

Your calculator looks a little awkward. I made one too although I haven't uploaded it to google docs just yet because I am not quite sure when I want to release it.

I keep one tab for colour patterns, as you can see here:



In another tab, I can then determine the food needed:



Anything within a blue cell can be changed. The multiplyer is in just incase I find a particular pattern of fruit and want to adjust it quickly by dividing or multiplying. There are equations for each of the RGB adjustment cells which add up the weightings of each fruit by the number of each particular fruit. Like yourself, I used the MIN and MAX too to stop overshooting.

Been stuck on a loop from midnight blue to blood red trying to get ink blue for days now. Your chart confirms what I thought, depending on +/- 5 or 8 I will overshoot or land properly. I'll know in 30 minutes and if not, check and go to sleep, but it seems like the perfect tool so far. Either way, according to result I'll be able to tell if it's in fact 5 or 8 variance and correct accurately from there. Tank you so much!

Edit: just checked on it and it got the right color. I had the the math and it said 1 pear but the calclator said two. Added the second one and it matched, which also matches the color flow chart options. Great work!
