Two pineapples will get you to ink blue.

I love you.

My friend is on regal purple now and is trying to get to soot black. Any advice?

[Esutiben]

So many pages to weed through! Every chart or document I have found didn't say how to get to Mesa Red. Anyone have any ideas? Starting from Desert Yellow. Thanks.

Need to darken all around so start by feeding 15 apples, 15 beries and 15 pears, that will get us into the oranges first, not worth upping more fruits from the start.

I managed to break out of that and got marsh green but now after feeding it what I should have to get me soot black it's currant purple!
What should I do? I'm at my wits end.

This should do it:
apple 4
pear 3
plum 2

Please, someone help me out.

Where do I go from if I have a Midnight Blue-chocobo and want a Soot Black? =/

Try:
apple 2
pear 2
pineapple 2

What's the easiest way to go from Sky Blue to Turquoise Green?

Try:
berry 13
apple 13
pear 13

I hate to jump in at this late in the game, but I must ask ...

Some of you kept on telling others EXACTLY how many fruits you should feed to get to the next color ...

My question is: just HOW you came up with these EXACT fruits to feed? Please show proof WHY the recommended numbers will do exactly that kind of color adjustment to the base color.

[ShadowClyde]

There is a color calculator, that while not perfect, will get you at least in the ballpark of the color you want.

Can anyone, please, tell me how to get from Blood Red to Slate Gray?

Here you go:

plum 10
valfruit 2

Hey guys,

So I have changed the color a few times for my chocobo now, but I have decided that Celeste Green shall be my pick.
I have a sky blue chocobo now and I tried feeding it plums which I heard from a mate I should, 18 or so later. No color change at all.

So which fruit should I use instead?
I just wanna make sure to hear other people suggestions, my own guess is Pears?

You overfed it driving values around. Try the following:

apple 3
pear 2
pineapple 1

[AttacKat]

The calculator clearly states it isn't anything conclusive.

and feeds such as this

berry 7
apple 7
pear 9
plum 2

is pointless since Apple and Plum washes each other out. So why feed 7 apples and then wash 2 out with plums? What purpose does those recommendations of feeding 20A + 20B + 20C do?

Seriously, where is the 100% solid data backing all these EXACT feeds? We cannot come up with 100% SOLID feeds for simple single fruit feeds, and we can make blank EXACT recommendations?

apple 3
pear 2
pineapple 1

Please tell me the EXACT RGB value this will produce.
