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

[Niqote]

Mine somehow ended up bone white
Does anyone know what I should do for it to become snow white?

Somehow ended up even more confused than before..

I assume I should feed it more pineapples?

feed it an O'Ghomoro Berry till you get the 'feather' message and then post result.

Right, and there's a cap of 255 and 0, and of course there could be a a cap on how many times you can feed your chocobo during the 6h wait time, but this doesn't break my theory about the messages.

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.

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.

At a loss... Since the person going grape purple did around 65 darken red, 20 darken blue, and 30 lighten green. While I did 20 darken blue, 17 darken red, and 21 lighten green, and got Regal purple, when I was aiming for Grape Purple. So, I went with 10x more darken red, and five more lighten green on my Regal purple. Ended up this morning with Dalamud Red.
What should I add now if I wanted Grape purple? I'm thinking some darken green, and darken blue?

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.

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.

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

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.
