Mecrofeeding: The Way to Chocobo Color Dyeing

[Glazwyb]

For what it's worth, here's a pastebin of the feedings I've been keeping track of (though unfortunately, I didn't record what I fed last night when it was at Ink Blue.)

Deepwood Green from Ink Blue is usually undershooting Soot Black - one more pineapple should do the trick at that point. A valfruit might also work, but there's a chance of hitting Kobold Brown. So, since you fed a valfruit - if you hit Soot Black, you're good. If you hit Kobold Brown, take the choco out of the stable and restable - then feed a plum. If you hit Soot Black you're good, if Deepwood Green the next feed is a pineapple (don't restable).

i don't have a big special color like neon lime or regal purple.

but the color i want for my chocobo is butter yellow, i don't see that as an option however and the 2 colors that i seem to be pointed to are honey yellow and cream yellow.

while i see a list for both i don't know exactly how to mix the fruit feedings.

cream yellow is:
5 × Valfruit, 6 × Pineapples, 6 × Plums

and honey yellow is:
1 × Pears, 2 × Apples, 5 × Pineapples

anyone mind helping me with this?

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to get my chocobo to Othard Blue with no luck. I'm back at the default Desert Yellow, what would I need to get it to Othard Blue? I've used the calc, I tried to recalc it, and read online guides. I've gotten ranges from browns to greens. I'm at a loss.

So I have spent the last 2-3 days trying to get soot black and ended up the in the marsh, kobold, ink, loop.

and I happened upon:
http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Chocobo_Dyeing

The important of that table being at the top:
"These HEX values are confirmed as exact as of Patch 2.38. Please do not edit them without certainty of their adjustment."

I've compared them to both tables in the google docs calculator and they all differ from each other. Has anyone been able to confirm that that table which claims to be exact is actually exact? If so should the google template be updated to reflect these more specific values?

I manually adjusted my color table for my current Marsh Green and fed based on that so I'll now in 6 hours if it helped or not. In the meantime the info above could be useful for review.

Hi, I'm on Raisin brown. I just fed My chocobo 1 x berry, 1 x plum, 2 x berry in that order. Do you think that will get me soot black? Right now I'm deeply regretting not using the plum first........ It's going to be a long six hours!

[Melevadine]

I was wondering if it was possible to get from Royal Blue to Shadow Blue, since that is the colour I would prefer right now.

Is it easier to change from Royal Blue to Shadow Blue or should I give my chocobo a Han Lemon and go back to Desert Yellow first and try for Shadow Blue then..?

Thanks for any information! (:

Here is a good resource that can help you get from any starting color to the desired end color: http://ffxivchocobo.com/

Ohh, yes. I've always used that and it's never failed for me. I've heard of some difficulty using it when going to soot black or snow white, but haven't experienced that myself.

It at least gets you extemely close to the desired color. For all shades of blue I never had any trouble getting exactly the color I want, violet was one shade too bright and would have needed 1-3 additional fruits.
For soot black I got the darkest green, so again, 2 fruits off. Not a big deal at that point when that tool calculates all the fruit to jump from one side of the color spectrum to the other pretty much perfectly
