I changed it purely based on the success with the new values. Seems to be more solid. But like you say there is no right or wrong at this stage, it's probably just lucky RNG. I will see about adding that option in.

Edit: Option added so you can choose the RGB scale you want now. Have also noticed that a lot of recipes are the same using either scale. But I did take a few gambles on recipes that differed for testing before I originally changed the values and they seem to be going in the 8th RGB scales favour.

Also, I have gone from Soot Black > Dalamud Red > Lavender Purple > Seafog Blue > Peacock Blue all intentional and all single feedings without needing to tweak using the 8th RGB scale.

PS: Did lavender purple to confirm that it was the correct name and not lavender blue and it is in fact lavender purple.
From watching the "Micro Feeding" thread it appears that there are just as many "course corrections" using that method and the 8th scale RGB's as there was when we were recommending based solely on the "Original" RGB's. Based on what I'm seeing as people post results I would not say, at this point, that it's more accurate as the side note on the FFXIV Chocobo website says.

I do believe that the discrepancies some users are experiencing to get some colours from posted feeding recommendations (on either RGB scale) is due to an internal RGB dye range (this was also mentioned in the micro feeding thread) and that I don't think everyone is at the exact same internal RGB value which adds an "rng" element to calculations for either RGB scale, hence I usually add "mileage may vary" to any feed recommendations I post.

Thanks for putting in the option to select from both. If I do any Feed Suggestions in the future it's handy to be able to double check my manual math against both scales quickly. It appears that regardless of using "Original" or "8th Scale" RGB's (when using +/-5) that a great majority of the fruit recommendations do end up almost identical to each other; I've even done a few simple manual dye calculations and checked against both calculator options and noticed the same thing.
