Can anyone please help? Woad blue to Soot black?

[Oniguro]

Hello~ I'm new to this tread and I'm aiming for Ink blue.
With advice from my wife I give my choco food till it gives the "begins growing new feathers" message.

Here is the log of what happened to me so far:
(the numbers below are the numbers of "begins growing new feathers" messages I got before waiting 6 hours)
Desert Yellow > Berries > 1 > Cork Brown
Cork Brown > Berries > 1 > Ul Brown
Ul Brown > Berries > 4 > Shale Brown
Shale Brown > Berries > 4 > Lavender Blue
Lavender Blue > Berries > 3 > Othard Blue
Othard Blue > Apple > 2 > Plum Purple

I didn't see that last one coming since it wasn't on the list but for now I guess I'll feed it some more berries to try and get to Royal Blue before I'll feed it Apples again.

If anyone has got a better plan, I'm all ears. (In fact, if you have a better plan I'll take you to a planet where everyone is all ears.)

So... I don't have any screenshots of my choco yet since it's night time, but I got my ICE BLUE finally! Well...First few attempts were just experimental to see what'd happen, then I used a lemon to start fresh. I ended up using 15 Doman Plums, of which the first 3 did nothing, but #4-15 all had the "grows new feathers" message with them. 6 hours later...BAM. Ice blue. I couldn't be happier!

Here's a picture of my choco!

I have been on the slow and painful road on trying to get my chocobo to "Soot Black". I started off trying to get "Slate Gray" but messed up some where and now I am completely lost. I hope The following info helps anyone out. I will also keep editing this post till I finally get "Soot Black".

NOTE: I did not keep track the "Feather Growing" messages procs when feeding, sorry >.<

First Feed

Start : Desert Yellow

• O'Ghomoro Berries (x21)
• Xelphatol Apple (x13)
• Doman Plum (x6)
• Mamook Pear (x7)

NOTE: I feed the Plum at first realizing I was lightning the Red hue, then feed the Apples; 6 to counter the Plums then 7 to match the pear count.

END RESULT: Plum Purple

And my simulator worked, with no adjustment! For me at least.



SUCCESS, in one, massive correction attempt (surprised me too):

Been stuck on a loop from midnight blue to blood red trying to get ink blue for days now. Your chart confirms what I thought, depending on +/- 5 or 8 I will overshoot or land properly. I'll know in 30 minutes and if not, check and go to sleep, but it seems like the perfect tool so far. Either way, according to result I'll be able to tell if it's in fact 5 or 8 variance and correct accurately from there. Tank you so much!

Edit: just checked on it and it got the right color. I had the the math and it said 1 pear but the calclator said two. Added the second one and it matched, which also matches the color flow chart options. Great work!

Tried to get soot black. Can't get it. Tried all sorts of "methods" posted here and elsewhere. I just keep getting void blue, midnight blue and whatnot. Worst of all is I had midnight blue, fed it till I got the feather message, came back six hours later and never got an animation. It stayed midnight blue. Clearly the RNG gods are telling me my chocobo wants to be that color so I surrender. lol *waves white flag*
