Mecrofeeding: The Way to Chocobo Color Dyeing

[AttacKat]

had celeste green and wanted to go to corpse blue. ... apple green. ... sky blue. ... meadow green

Please describe what you did? The colors you gave are jumping all over the board to CB.

(a) From Cactuar Green to Ochu Green
(b) soot black from pumpkin orange

A) looks good.

B)

Well I tried again. Meadow Green to Corpse Blue...got Sky Blue again. It said 7 valfruit and 7 plum using the updated color scale. I fed alternating 1 by 1. I feel bad wasting so many fruits at this point.

I'm currently tryin the ochu green. I feed the fruits but the feather didn't proc on the last apple, but before. So?

Since i'm panicking over this, i tried to see if i could figure this out myself and... i just saw wich food was the last proc at and inserted the fruits i gave to the choco until the last proc. Sheet says i'm in ochu green anyway so maybe... is not telling me there is a proc cause i already had it? would be cool xD

I've been using the guide to get much closer to Ink Blue than I've gotten...I ended up at Midnight Blue which was just 1x Apple, 1x Pineapple, 2x Pear, though instead of Ink Blue I ended up all the way back at Abyssal Blue...I checked on the spreadsheet and none of the colour values dropped to 0 or 255 and I don't entirely understand what you meant by getting the "To Target" part withing -/+ 5 of eachother...no matter how I arrange the feeding the "To Target" part always stays the same...

Anyway I'm going to try again with my current setup from Abyssal Blue -> Ink Blue. It is currently 4x Berry, 3x Pear, 3x Apple, 4x Pear, 4x Apple. None of the colours hit 0 or 255 and the "To Target" Is -4, 12, 10 is that bad...?

Hello!
I've been managing my FC's chocobo colors with your microfeeding guide, and it's been awesome!

I managed to get most of the colors finished, and recently one of my FCmates asked if I could take them from Shadow Blue to Ink Blue.
However, it looks like the Chocobo Color Simulator spreadsheet hasn't updated its RGB values? When I use the calculator using the updated RGB scale, it says that Shadow Blue is (57, 57, 73) and Ink Blue is (27, 32, 40), but on the spreadsheet, Shadow Blue is (63, 55, 71) and Ink Blue is (31, 39, 47). So I may be getting the wrong values when I put in the fruit to make sure nothing hits 0 or 255.

Is there an updated color simulator spreadsheet I can use to split up the feedings, or is it time to break out the calculator?

Thanks! :3

Is anyone able to help me? I seem to be stuck in a loop between Sky Blue and Celeste Green. I want Corpse Blue. I've tried the calculators and spreadsheets and I didn't, to my understanding, see any complications. I alternated feedings to avoid maxing out numbers.

What colour would I get if I went 0,255,255? That should be cyan/aqua. Or are the colours of the chocobos limited and it will give it the colour those number are closest too?

How exactly does the feathers proc interact with this method? I was trying to go from Blood Red to Soot Black as the OP detailed, so I fed the amount/order listed: 12x Berry, 10x Pear, 2x Apple. My result was Mesa Red.

Figuring it must only count the feather messages, I changed my calculation to 8x Berry, 6x Pear, and 2x Apple according to my chat log. However, the result for this is (87, 41, 40), and Mesa Red is (127, 59, 6). How did I get here? 8-12 Berries and 6-10 Pears only lowered red by 20? There were no zeroes involved.

I really don't understand how the feathers proc factors into all this--or is the idea to simply keep repeating the microfeeding math/method each 6 hours until it actually reaches the target color?

Feather proc doesn't factor into color change at all - it's simply an indication that a color change has occurred. Color change is based on a sum total of the values of all the fruit fed to your chocobo. (It is possible that removing the chocobo from the stable after molting 'normalizes' him at his current hue, but I haven't tested enough to be sure). A feather proc indicates that the RGB values of the chocobo have changed enough that they are now closer to a new color than they are to their starting color. Since each fruit fed to the chocobo modifies the RGB values by a variable amount, it's impossible to know exactly where your chocobo's RGB values are once you start feeding.
