Chocobo Colouring, my progression to a Soot Black Chocobo.

From midnight blue, the exact values that is, 3 pineapples should bring you down to it. But the same issue keeps cropping up for everyone which is, I don't know the feed history so I can't estimate the current values for your chocobo so while 3 pineapples could bring someone fromthe exact Midnight blue RGB values to soot black, your chocobo might be a bit off. Either way, it sounds like you need to bring the blue value down a bit, even if you want to do 1 or 2 pineapples and take it in stages.

Ty! I'll try this

I have a Midnight Blue one as well, fed it ONE pineapple and got feather proc.
Not gonna take the risk and wait 6 hours to see what happens.

Any advice on how to break out of the Kobold Brown -> Ink Blue -> Deepwood Green loop? Currently I am feeding them 1 fruit to change their color to the next one of the loop, when other people have gotten Soot Black from their feedings.

No idea how to break the loop by yourself.
I was also stuck in this loop and only after the 3rd time I saw Deepwood Green my chocobo changed to Soot Black instead of Brown/Blue.

Just continue feeding it to have only one "feather proc" message at a time and you'll may see it go to Soot Black eventually.

So, basically, pray the RNG god.

Just a quick update. I ended up doing another 3 feeds and got my Soot Black chocobo. I will add it to the write up soon enough. I haven't been updating it because I realise there was quite a possible error in my calculation methods.

This is to do with the order of which you feed the colourings to your chocobo and hitting the extremities of the scale (either 0 or 255).

Hey barboron, i fed one pineapple and got grape purple then fed another and got rolanberry red x.x what do I do now? I'm so lost

This might be a bit late, but when you're at Kobold Brown try feeding your Chocobo a plum - you're trying to neutralize the red at that point. Plums will do better than Berries or Pears which might throw you into Ink Blue or Deepwood Green.

Also, all 3 colors are actually darker than Soot Black - pineapples should help from Ink Blue and valfruit from Deepwood green. Your goal is to lighten and neutralize the strong color. I believe Kolbold Brown has the most reliable path to Soot Black though.
