Finally made it to midnight blue, so close to ink blue!

Next should be a pear and one apple proc, I think.

Any advice?

Interesting, cause red should stay the same but the others two should change, which is what I was trying, but this proves the ballpark rule. I was checking and the variation couldn't land you any other color, but would still be in the range of ink blue or soot black, so my guess is that two nearly exact values supersede the close third.

Rant aside, thank you!! Will report back tomorrow morning, hopefully with the ink blue.

Right now I am at Snow White and very dissatisfied with it, it looks like a very pale gray. Has anyone gone from White to Soot Black? I think I would just prefer a black Chocobo.

It's the whole other side of the spectrum. You should start deepening with the three evenly at the same time. Don't go overboard with many at the same time, do a series and see where you stand then adjust again.

So it should be the same three fruit that I use? Thanks for the advice.

So after I tried the [O'Ghomoro Berry x3, Mamook Pear x1, Xelphatol Apple x1] recipe and got Cork Brown, I tried to correct the values with a Doman Plum and another Mamook Pear, but instead of getting me closer to Aldgoat Brown (which is my goal), I got reset back to Desert Yellow.

I tried again today with the same recipe of [O'Ghomoro Berry x3, Mamook Pear x1, Xelphatol Apple x1], this time feeding them in order and getting the new feathers message with each feed, I instead ended up with Ul Brown.

I got to Aldgoat Brown from UI Brown by using (and getting a message for) one of each darkening fruits. I don't remember the order of feeding, if it makes a difference.

Yeah, I tried getting to Deepwood to try the Valfruit thing only to mess up and end up on Wine Red again. I guess it's not such a bad thing, I suppose considering I've heard you and 1-2 other guys have that same problem. Were you going for the the x2 Pineapple method on Ink Blue, like that one guy did a couple pages back to get Soot Black? If so, please let me know of your outcome. I'm actually heading back there after I get off Wine Red, again.
