So following your advice, I fed him 5 pineapples and after throwin' in an apple. He developed new feathers so I figured I should stop since idk if you can still influence his color after its already been stated he's changing color. After the 6 hour period he turned back to Regal Purple xD

Starting Colour: Regal Purple
RGB Estimation: 95R, 42G, 71B

Desired Colour: Grape Purple
RGB Estimation: 52R, 36G, 54B

Note: I used the "Original" RGB values with the +/-5 integer for my calculations.

Manual Math
Focused on bringing your RED down first and then the BLUE.

4 Pear (-20, +20, -20) 75, 62, 51
5 Berries (-25, -25, +25) 50, 37, 76
2 Apple (+10, -10, -10) 60, 27, 66
2 Pear (-10, +10, -10) 50, 37, 56 <- End RGB (approx.)

Combined Feed Option
You should see at least 1, if not more, "Feather's" messages by the time you're done.

x6 Pear
x5 Berries
x2 Apple

Micro Feed Option
You can break the feeds down if you want. You can do them something like the below or break it down further.

x4 Pear
x5 Berries
x2 Apple
x2 Pear

FFXIV Calculator Reference
For reference if you want to follow the calculator, using the "Original" RGB values or the "8th Scale" values, it generated a feed suggestion very close to the above (did the manual math then cross checked the calculator); both RGB scales from the calculator listed almost the same amount of fruits they just had 1 extra apple in comparison to the above and were listed in a different order.

x3 Apples
x5 Berries
x6 Pears


You can choose if you want to mass feed or micro feed based on the above but either combo should result in an end RGB of around 50R 37G 56B (assuming +/-5 average integer and using the "Original" RGB values) and should push you close, if not into, the Grape Purple dye range; your mileage may vary.

Hey Syrehn. Took a break but back now and after doing the micro feed it actually sent me back to Royal Blue. Suggestions?
