Chocobo Dye Experimentation

Fixed it up a bit with all the double colors and the issues I was having with it. Been adding some new stuff aswell. Got a bit from your spreadsheet Snootles, added your description and what we know into it, and ofcourse your name along with Gilgameshkun under special thanks .

Ok here are my experience so far with your image!

1. Goal = Lotus Pink
Feeding him lots of fruits from another spreadsheet. After 6 hours the chocobo was "snow white" (one before lotus pink).
Second feed we gave him "berries" until the message "grow new feathers" appear and stopped feeding.
Result = Lotus Pink

2. Goal = Apple Green
Feeding him lots of fruits from another spreadsheet. After 6 hours the chocobo was "meadow green" (one before apple green).
Second feed we gave him "plums" until the message "grow new feathers" appear and stpped feeding.
Result = Apple Green

3. Goal = Blood Red
Feeding him "Apples" until 4 times the message "grow new feathers" appear and stopped feeding.
Result = Milloncorn Yellow <-- the first color to blood red from your image but after 4 messages of grow new feathers...
Second feed we gave him more "apples" until 5 times the message appears and stopped feeding.
Resul = ???

So for the third chocobo with goal "blood red" your image could be wrong. The chocobo have already 4 times changed feathers and now 5 more times. We hope now after 6 hours the chocobo is blood red. Maybe there are steps where to stop feeding after 1, 2 or 3 messages?

Might want to use any image host besides imageshack for an image so large. imgur and pomf being good choices.

Realchucky,
I've had a few guildies having that issue with the apples as well, some doesn't change, some do, some jump, some don't, it seems very odd.
So what I think is that you can't fully count your way to a color though the feather proc, it might just be that it is a repeatable message simply stating it'll still change color from the original basically just repeating itself. And if you switch fruit (in one feed) it will start where you landed with the first fruit you fed, and it wont say the message untill you hit an other color.

Example:
start: desert yellow
1 apple - no message
2 apples - message appears, changes from desert yellow to millioncorn yellow
3 apples - message appears, changes from desert yellow to millioncorn yellow
4 apples - message appears, changes from desert yellow to millioncorn yellow
Now you'ld think you're at pumkin/bloodred and feed it berries.
1 Berry - no message
2 berries - message appears, changes from millioncorn yellow to XXXXX (Dunno which color you get by that tbh, probably like Halatali Yellow :P)
3 berries - message appears, changes from millioncorn yellow to XXXXX

You think you're a Rolanberry Red or Regal Purple but when you take your chocobo out it's XXXXX instead.

It's just what I would think.
Sometimes people get a feather proc aswell but nothing happens, which is also very odd.

From what I've noticed you can either feed your chocobo a ton of apples for the next red shift, or feed it a few apples and either a few berries or something to trigger it sooner. I did that a few times where I'd be at 10+ feedings and nothing happened, gave it a berry and boom. Then checking this thread I've seen people say they took 14-18+ apples for whatever change I was on then.

I'd say it's probably easier to get to dalamud or rolanberry red through blue/purple shades since they're more straightforward

I just went straight across the RGB scale from yellow to white, no problem, just from a few berries.
I get the feather message just from one berry too. Maybe it's his favourite food now.

I've landed at the same conclusion. Mass feeding may get to a 'cap'. Plus, it stands to reason that since there is an RNG feather proc that makes you skip ahead, that there would be an RNG bust. Maybe even an RNG feather proc that sets you back?

I also think we should let go of this RGB tweaking notion. I'm more and more leaning towards presets with RNG elements.

My theories are HERE.

I have updated the text according to what you've said Snootles, this one is better resolution aswell, uploaded by imgur.

What I've seen as well from your data snootles is that several of the food evens out each other, Plums seems to have brought people back a color several times after feeding berries, pineapple and apple, which seems kinda odd. Can it be that plums evens out all 3 of those fruits?

You also said I missed to add something from your data, I only found the morbol green one, can you pinpoint me to which others I'm missing?

Also heads up, I'm going on holiday on Friday for 10 days so I wont be able to do any updates for 10 days after Friday.

Alinah, can you put the grey in that I reached to please?

I can only find that you recorded reaching Goobbue grey, which is on there between Shale brown and Lavender Blue.

Did you manage to reach an other grey that I just missed?

Oh it is on there I didn't see it. I got to it from about four stages after Shale Brown brown though, not one.
