So apparently, the darkest blue you can achieve with straight berries is Royal. Which is obviously not the darkest blue. I'm aiming for midnight, void, or ink blue. None of them seem to involve red or green (in my opinion, but I'm horribly colorblind), so what should I be adding to the mix to achieve said results from Royal blue? Help a visually crippled guy out here?

You need to go heavy on pears and some apples.

Ive reset my Chocobo to Desert Yellow(Or Base I believe is Desert Yellow?) and fed it about 15 or so Berries, 12 had the "New Feather Message". Most have been saying around 13 Messages gets them Lavender so I'll see what that does for me.

Another Snow White. Took two feeds of Doman Plums, stopping after getting the 'new feathers' message. 1st x5, 2nd x9.

Another Snow White. Took two feeds of Doman Plums, stopping after getting the 'new feathers' message. 1st x3, 2nd x9.

so you started with desert yellow and gave him: plum, plum, plum (feather message), wait 6h, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum (feather message), wait 6h

and got white?

So i just went from the standard yellow and after 1 feeding of 23 berries, 11 pears and 9 apples i got Charcoal Grey. Any idea on what feed and how many id need to get Black or perhaps Ink Blue?

Ink Blue.

I basically winged it using 36 apples, 36 pears, 36 berries over 3 feedings. I would go apple, pear, apple, pear, apple, pear, then some berries until I got a couple feather change messages and repeat this until I would use a 3rd for each feeding.

I went through 3 different shades of darkening brown and finally used 3 berries and 1 pear on my 4th feeding to get to Ink Blue.

Interesting, so at the deepest green, a green lightener made it black. Trying out a pineapple on my ink blue bird now.

Pineapple on Ink Blue turned it in to Kobold Brown. I think that's getting close I black though. I fed it one pear and hoping I end up with Soot Black, if not Deepwood Green and do the 1 Valfruit as confirmed earlier.
