I can attest that having the color Royal Blue will indeed put the Chocobo at Midnight Blue if you feed him 6 pear 5 apple 1 berry, in any order. (Stable was in good condition.)

Royal Blue --> 6pear, 5 apple 1 berry = Midnight blue.

Going to ride him a bit like this and get some quests done.

Then I'm going to see if...

Midnight Blue --> 2 pineapples = Soot Black.

..as someone previously mentioned they got results for.
From my Actual experience I can tell you this. If you feed him 2 pineapples from midnight blue and both of them get the growing feathers thing you will prob end up in abyssal blue like I did.

So be careful just in case
