Chocobo coloring?

[Jacosta]

You also need to be level 50. And you can feed it as many fruit as you like at one time. Please note: If you don't see "Your chocobo begins to grow new feathers" after feeding it a piece of fruit then it didn't work. Not every time will cause a color change, but at least that message will let you know when it wasn't successful.

You have to be a certain level, but it's not lvl 50. I believe it's 30. My choco has been snow white for quite a number of weeks now and I turned lvl 50 like a week or so ago....so def. don't need to be 50. There's also a quest that pops around Bentbranch Stables when you reach the right level that you need to do in order to change the colors.
