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

[Neoxn]

I got Deepwood Green again, so I just stuffed my chocobo with 2x pineapple, 2x valfruit, and 1x plum in hopes that I can at least get to another color I haven't already gotten.

So 1 pear turned it to Sky blue! XD

Bummer. Since I pumped my bird full of berries and pears I probably had my values in a different ballpark.

There are probably better people here who can help, but you have a couple options. Either try the smallest amount of fruit possible to change it again or try to pump it full of stuff to get a bigger change. Sky Blue is 124, 171, 207. Your goal is 60, 107, 107. You'll want your blue and greens closer together and you'll want everything darker.

If you don't have access to a ton of fruit maybe just try to adjust the greens and blues for now. A handful of Pears will raise your green values and lower your blues and reds. It probably won't hit Turquoise but it might be closer.

I actually think I like the Deepwood and Ink colors more than black, honestly. Buuut, black is black....

My friend has been having a TON of trouble getting feather messages with fruit. He's at royal blue and has used at least 50 fruit trying to darken the color. Sometimes, when the fruit DOES proc, (as in, there's a feathers message) there's no cutscene of his choco when the timer's up. So there's no color change. What's going on here?

Starting Colour: Grape Purple
52R 36G 54B

Desired Colour: Ink Blue
22R 26G 34B

Try the following Darkener Combo:

x5 Pear
x4 Berries
x3 Apple

This combo should result in an RGB of around 22R 26G 34B (assuming +/-5 average integer and using the original RGB spreadsheet) and should put you in the Ink Blue colour range. Remember your mileage may vary.

P.S: Don't hate me if you don't get Ink Blue my brain is getting tired of calculating colour combos. @_@

Syrehn Do you mind giving me the reverse for getting Grape Purple from Deepwood Green? I fed 2 Plum 2 Pineapple and 1 Valfruit which changed from Ink Blue to Deepwood but I don't know how to proceed

A better question is, what color is he aiming at?
He might need to move to the red or green side of the wheel depending on what he's aiming at, assuming his blue is capped (I am assuming this stuff caps eventually).

To tell the truth,i still can't find my final color yet.even Soot Black is beautiful but somehow i don't think its suit for me maybe i'm gonna try "hard to describe" color such as Torquise Green,from the pics i've seen i really can't tell the Torquise Green looks green or blue .. It sure interesting to let ppl curious and ask "What color is that !?" I love that kind of reaction.Or i might try Girlish Color like Lotus Pink
