Mecrofeeding: The Way to Chocobo Color Dyeing

[Morningstar1337]

Grape Purple (63, 47, 63) -> Abyssal Blue(55, 47, 91), To Target(-23, 5, 23)
Not dead on, but you are darn close.

Step	Feed		Qty	63	47	63
1	berry		1	58	42	68
2	valfruit	2	68	32	78
3@	plum		1	63	37	83
4	plum		2	53	47	93

After feeding the 1st plum you should be into the AB zone.

Okay I'll try to keep that in mind if I attempt to go for Abyssal Blue again

UH I got a proc on the first valfruit, should I feed it a second still?

I am convinced any luck people are having with the calculator is just that, luck. I've been bouncing around trying to hit charcoal grey for days now. It'll go from a baby poo green to a almost grey blue to a brighter green to a dark blue to a purple.

The calculator wasn't dead on, nor was AttacKat's suggestion. Nothing seems to be a shoo-in yet, but this method makes sense to me

And I don't know if we ever will be. But at least now we have a tool that can get everyone into a general range at first feed, and then fine tune from there.

Nothing will ever be perfect, that wasn't meant to be a criticism and I hope it didn't come off that way. It was just my personal experience that I didn't hit it first try, where some have gotten it on the first try feeding this way.

As I said before, this is the first thing I've read that's made sense. This was FINALLY the "Ah ha!" moment for me. It certainly has the best, and most consistent results I've seen so far as well. I think you've definitely gotten some of the doors unlocked here. I have an alt and would be happy to color test her chocobo with this system if that would be beneficial in any way. LMK!

Will try that next, thanks for the recommendation.

No problem. I'm curious to know what you think of the Ice Blue when you try it.

This is getting beyond frustrating.

Deepwood Green>Kobold Brown loop again, I fed it ONE VALFRUIT as suggested, it procced a plumage change, 6 hours later KOBOLD BROWN.

I'm at the end of my rope. Is this just it? I can't get Soot Black, have to waste god knows how much money starting completely over?

And even then it's not a guarantee that it won't end up being even more money in the toilet.

Help please. I've been wanting to go to Rolanberry Red. I started out at Regal Purple, I followed tips, guides, the calculator, and the spreadsheets. I always seem to end up with Dalamud Red instead, then when I try to get Rolanberry Red from there I get back to Regal Purple. I'm so confused atm. I'm not sure what to do ; ; currently on Dalamud Red atm. Staying put cause I'm tired of being stuck on these two.

Hey guys,

Looking for expert help on changing my chocobo's color. I wanted regal purple, and have achieved that color via 'blood red' > 'regal purple' with 17x O'Ghomoro Berry, 15x Xelphatol Apple and 18x Valfruit 1st feeding, and then 3x Valfruit and 1x O'Ghomoro Berry on the 2nd feeding. I'm not thrilled with the color though and would like it a bit lighter and have decided on 'lavender purple'. I've researched and seen I need to use 11 × Pineapples, 13 × Valfruit, 18 × Plums. Can anyone confirm the fruit quantity I listed is correct and assist me in how to break down the feeding distribution so I don't overfeed one color.

Thanks a ton

Blame it on SE. Some RGB values are very close, and the same fruit can span 3-4 color range. What color are you at ATM?

This is getting beyond frustrating.

Lets try this, it will take a few more fruits, but let's get you out of DG/KB loop.
Feed 2 plums and 4 berries to get it to Midnight Blue (wait 6 hrs) (25, 26, 57) (KB -> SB -> DW -> Ink Blue -> MB)
then feed it 3 or 4 pineapples to get it to Soot Black (MB -> IB -> SB)

HelpRolanberry Red. ... currently on Dalamud Red atm.

DR = 112, 27, 27
RR = 93, 24, 43

Step	Feed	Qty	122	27	27
1@	berry	3	107	12	42
2	plum	1	102	17	47
3	pear	1	97	22	42

To Target		-4	2	1

Should get feather proc on 3rd berry, which will take you into RR range, rest are for fine tuning.

regal purple ... "lavender purple'. I've researched and seen I need to use 11 × Pineapples, 13 × Valfruit, 18 × Plums. Can anyone confirm the fruit quantity I listed is correct and assist me in how to break down the feeding distribution so I don't overfeed one color.

The feed is correct.

Step	Feed		Qty	104	50	80
1	plum		10	54	100	130
2	valfruit	10	104	50	180
3	pineapple	10	154	100	130
4	plum		7	119	135	165
5	valfruit	1	124	130	170
6@	valfruit	1	129	125	175
7	pineapple	1	134	130	170
8	valfruit	1	139	125	175

To Target			-2	4	0

Step 6 will take you into the LP zone.
