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

Whoevever came up with this cap of 255 and 0 is also not thinking correctly... sorry. This isn't photoshop.. there are not 255 levels of each color in this game... that would produce 256x256x256x256x256x256 colors... we don't have that many colors... give up this theory. Stick to the simple facts... when you get the message that your have grown new feathers your chocobo will change colors. Now, lets document 1 O'Ghomoro berry (that created this message), then 2, then 3, then 4, etc until we hit the cap (which again isn't 255). Its actually a simple process but people got the wrong method in their heads so only a few are actually documenting what is relevant.

We don't have that many colors, but i think the system is working on this scale rounding the result towards a color or another, it doesn't matter how you disguise it, this is a game and it has to use RGB.

Chocobo Dye Experimentation Thread


I created a new thread for controlled experiments to find out exactly how the fruits work. I'd to make this a very organized set of experiments, instead of just people throwing fruit at the birds. If you're interested, I'd love to have some help.

Hello all,

I have a Ceruleum Blue choco. It's almost black. I've had a few requests ask how I got the elusive black choco, lol. I haven't the foggiest idea of how to screenshot it as I am on PS4, but if anyone on Hyperion wants to, just hit me up in-game. I used 23 berries, 11 pears, 9 apples, all in one session. I got the changing feathers message almost constantly and I rotated what I used. I generally used 2-3 berries for every pear or apple used.

I just feed my choco, if the values on my theory are partially right i should get Snow white.

Turquoise Green



I got it from a total of 13 pears, and 20 berries. I did 3 pears in the first round, no change. Second round I did 20 berries, followed by 10 pears.

First feeding was 25 apples (deepen red) and got Sunset Orange.
Second feeding was 3 pineapples (lighten green) and its now Pumpking Orange.

I prefer the Sunset Orange so im going to deepen the green even more then it was to see if I get a darker shade then the Sunset Orange.

Are you able to share a screenshot of your Sunset Orange for me?

I'm starting to think it depends on what fruit you start with and then it adjusts along that scale... Once I have my fruit I'm going to try feeding apples (darken red) first and see if that doesn't get me where I need to go.

Edit: To clarify saying darken red fruit - get message - okay we're on the red scale, (feathers message) darken the red, (feathers message) darken the red, (feathers message) darken the red - lighten green fruit - okay lets take some green from that red - (feathers message) lighten the green, (feathers message) lighten the green, (feathers message) lighten the green - darken blue fruit - okay lets add some blue to that red - (feathers message) darken the blue, (feathers message) darken the blue, (feathers message) darken the blue - result

I hope that makes sense.
