Chocobo dyeing R&D Thread - Post your results here!

Unfortunately I am correct, the post you linked only confirmed that I'm not the only one to think like that, the other colors are more apparent because you removed one of them, it's natural, automatic, call it however you want, it won't change the fact that if you remove green from a equal setting for all three color you'll get purple, not because you also added blue and red but because the absence of greed made the other two more "vibrant"

Alrighty, believe what you want. Best of luck with your own personal results.

I'm not sure where I got info., maybe here, but the berries x 20 and pears x 20 from original color did give me Turquoise just from one session of feeding.
Thanks! Can't decide if I want to keep or go for the Morbol Green! Anyone find that one yet? XD

Well so far I got what I wanted and predicted so yea I'm confident, not to mention I seen a few more people who said the exact same thing I said, are you saying we are wrong because you interpreted differently than I did something another person said? (Not to mention the fact that if you were right I'd never have been able to reach Snow White, since when I used the pineapples during the third feed, my green and red values would have went up as my blue one went down, which did not happen, this is a fact that you can't ignore)

(Why did you answered two times to the same post btw?)

Anyway, you can't win these kind of discussions as both sides will always think they are right and never change their mind so let's end this useless thing now, there's no point in repeating the same thing over and over again.

Someone posted something relevant to the discussion we were having after my original post. Hence, 2 posts.

Ok, just fed my Midnight Blue Chocobo, 3 Pineapple *1 new feather message.
Going to take a guess and say it will either end up with ink blue or black.
Just a guess, but thought I would give it a shot. Be back in 6 hours to say if it worked.

A Japanese player posted Wine Red Chocobo, can anyone translate? Google translate isn't doing too good, all I can make out is he went to Rolanberry Red first

Ah okay, well, his(her?) post is very well made, easy to understand even tho it relies a lot on RNG (and the dyeing system in its entirety) even tho I misred a part of it.

problem is in this case just how the hell was I able to pinpoint get these colors if it works the way you think it does, it would have been impossible for me to get rose pink by using 11 valfruits since the red and blue would have increased by the same value, I'd have gotten some thing like a really dark shade of purple and yet got a very light pink.

Then I used plums, I should have gotten a sort of deep blue like othard if we follow your thinking, yet, again, I got the lowest value of blue you can have, then I used pineapples and should have gotten a light yellow, yet I got white.

I admit I luckily pin pointed the colors I predicted but fact is I still got it while your thinking is completely wrong on the results, my facts and your theory are opposed, either you are wrong or are on the good track but still far from the truth.

I think the reason why you believe it works like that is because of the fact we don't have all the colors of RGB, which makes it works by range of value instead of precise value, if the value you got is within a range you'll have one chance out of the many ranges your values are in to get the one you want, even if the color you get makes no sense at all.

Yes but what I'm saying is that for exemple, when I fed my valfruit 11 times successfully, if I follow your logic the result would have been

R+11 G-11 B+11

Which means that instead of getting light pink I would have gotten purple since the value of red and blue went sky rocket high, which did not happen, see what I mean?
The first feed itself is opposing what you say

You need to keep in mind that the Chocobo's starting color is Desert Yellow. Desert Yellow is initially very high in REDs high in GREENs and low in BLUEs. You added REDs (making the value even higher) and BLUEs (raising it up) while slightly reducing the already high GREENs by a little amount.

The result: Pink.

Just because on a normal color wheel Red and Blue make purple, you also need to consider what color you are adding it to initially.

The Color wheel and a computer's RGB color pallet don't work in exactly the same fashion.

Adding reds and blues didn't make pink because 'red' was increased and 'green' decreased. It made pink because red+blue=magenta. If you had a 100% magenta (pink) chocobo, made by feeding lots of red and blue increasing fruits, changing the level of GREEN is only going to affect the intensity of the color (light magenta, dark magenta.)
