I managed to get my chocobo to Grape Purple, but I am still trying desperately for Shadow Blue.

I checked the Chocobo Colour Calculator and it told me to feed 1 Valfruit > 1 Pineapple > 2 Doman Plum, so I broke the feeding up and alternated the fruits and fed them all until I got the changing feathers message.

When I came back my chocobo was not Shadow Blue, yet again, but ended up back at Gloom Purple, which seems to be what I keep becoming stuck at.

The Calculator says to feed 4 O'Ghomoro Berries > 4 Xelphatol Apple > 5 Mamook Pear. Last time when I alternated the fruits one after the other until they were all fed I went from Gloom Purple to Grape Purple..not Shadow Blue.

Please, any help or ideas as to what I'm doing wrong??
