White Chocobos, White Chocobos everywhere!

I planted all 3 seeds. I used Grade III Gridanian Topsoil. So, I hope I get great yield!

[ruskie]

Planted 6 seeds(for each light/dark combo) with shroud 3 soil last night. Will post yield once it's done. Interested in the results(want mah green choco nao!!!)

I had a huge post written up about how I'm applying the scientific method, but I held a button down too long and lost it.

Short of it is, I should have fruit early today. I'm performing two experiments to find out whether the value of the chocobo's feathers (desert yellow) is a true or null value and whether RGB is true or a variant on pigment spectrum using RGB as primary colors (even though that's wrong, it'd actually be a preferable option for a lot of reasons I had outlined in the original post.)

Results should be very informative.

It also came with a warning I'm eager to post anyways: If you're not willing to gamble, WAIT a while before attempting to color your chocobo. Any assumptions you make about the default state of the chocobo and the color scale could be wrong and very costly. (Especially if you're buying fruit from the first round that will inevitably be up on the MBs for absurd prices.)

Maintenance is coming up and will delay me a bit, but I'm still hoping to have results posted soon.

Ooh nice work all. Our seeds will get harvested today I think. First thing I'm going to do is pump my choco full of +blues to see if it goes white but look forward to seeing everyone's pics. We need to solve this mystery ASAP.

I'll help you out a little here.

If RGB is TRUE and Chocobo value is TRUE AND "+Blue" slides along the scale towards brightness, in spite of it saying "darkening" then you'll get white.
if RGB is TRUE and Chocobo value is TRUE and +Blue is as advertised, you're actually not gonna move the color at ALL. It's going to get more yellow if anything, because the yellow in question may not be "true yellow"

There's other potential results, but the odds of you getting white that way are not the strongest. Good luck to you though. I'm doing the same thing with my bird, but I'm trying to make it dark blue. (I'm hoping current value of the chocobo is a null value and RGB is inverse.)

Ugh lol Oh man...Part of me appreciates the "leave it to the community to discover" aspect of this but my OCD monster wants white choco asap and wishes we had this intel already.

Same for me, but with Black. There's only two colors of chocobo I want mine to be, Red or Black. Red seems easy enough to obtain if you just feed it enough of the red plant. Black on the other hand.. I wanna know before I start messing around.
