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

Not sure if this one has been posted up yet but here ya go, managed to get my chocobo to the color of Lavender Purple. I thought it was kind of odd cause I haven't seen this one on any of the guides yet, might just be some kind of in-between colors. I got it by feeding my chocobo O'Ghomoro Berry's, stopping each time in started to grow new feathers and then feeding it again after it changed.

It's been on my sheet since the start almost. Lavender Purple should be named Lavender Blue. It's the same and it belongs in the O'Ghomorro berry colour tree.

While it isn't posted often, "Lavender Purple" is the same as the "Lavender Blue" haircolor, which is why people here usually say "Lavender Blue" when referring to this color.

Hello everyone, after spending a few days happy with my ink blue chocobo I'm getting more and more urges to finally take the plunge for soot black.

So Tonight I finally decided to stable him up for a shot at the illusive shade, but something weird has happened.

I'm wiling to give him one pineapple to get a single feather proc message. And I tried, but.

He didn't get one so I tried another pineapple.... Then another....... finally on the 4th pineapple he got the feather change notification.
This was alarming to me so I fetched him from stables.
Tried again, and every time I always get the feather proc on the 4th pineapple...
Now I have him de stabled until further notice, and decided to post here about that.

What should I do? Do I just feed him the 4 pineapple? This seems like far too much and will punch me out of my dark colors. Which I almost don't want to risk for such a strange problem, Ink blue is my color of choice, besides soot black... So it's tough to make the decision to try it

Thanks for any input here.

The 4 pineapples do not determine anything other than that this is how many fruits it takes for YOU (different for everyone) to get the feather proc that indicates colour change. Mind you, you can still get an RNG feather proc which will make you overshoot your goal.

Please, everyone who has done 1 fruit and stopped after each feather proc, share your info in my sheet! It's a lot easier than combing through so many forum posts for me.
All my findings are posted HERE.

So far, what is known:
- "Plumage will change in 6 hours" does NOT indicate a colour change. (why does this text exist?)
- "Is beginning to grow new feathers!" message indicates that your chocobo will change colour. Is being called 'feather proc' by most now.
- Taking out your chocobo during the 6 hour waiting period will end the process and not result in a colour change.
- The amount of fruit is irrelevant. Feed 1 type of fruit until 'feather proc' is received. Your chocobo will then change colour.
- There is more than 1 way to get to a colour.
- There is definitely RNG involved. Your 'feather proc' can RNG (RNG feather proc?) and you can receive a colour that is either 'uncommon' or you can skip a step (when using 1 type of fruit).

New findings/speculation:
Mixing fruits seems to be redundant and a waste of gil/resources.
There is no tweaking for RGB. Fruits seem to have preset colours to which they will go to with an element of RNG.
Yes, it is based on RGB but it is a preset never the less.

---- quick update. Just stabled him ad fed 2 got proc on second. Maybe I'll get kobold brown? Who knows

It seems that I'm stuck on a RNG loop with Ink Blue, Kobold Brown and Deepwood Green.
When I have Ink Blue, i feed my chocobo with a Pineapple.
When I have Kobold Brown, i feed my chocobo with a Plum.
When I have Deepwood Green, i feed my chocobo with a Valfruit.

Soot Black doesn't want to pop out .
I'll try to keep track the number of loops I do to see if how many loops I have to do before RNG decides to give me my Chocoblack.

Is this broke? I have now fed my chocobo 100 fruit and no message on feathers changing! Is it stuck at Green Apple?

Was the original color Apple Green and did you try to feed it more pears?
Apple green seems to be the cap for green, if you want to go darker green you should feed it berries.

I'm trying to get Soot Black, but it keeps switching between Ink blue and Deepwood Green.
Any tips?
