It's read only. You need to go into file and select make copy. You can play with that. As I said, you can go into loam, which we know, then add 5 of each deepener or let me know where you are currently on color and I can check for you, too.

Im currently stuck on Lavender
And what do you mean go into file? It just a link to a page saying I need permission to access something.

You've been adding too many things. 3 plums from bone white land you on snow white (3 plums, no matter 3 procs, as long as third procs, you got it), valfruits added to the mix then pineapples keep you on a loop of upping all but cycling back to same. According to calculator, you should have it now.

On the plus side, if you keep adding plums, no matter what, you could only go further into snow white (true white actually, but it doesn't exist in the game). Stick to plums if it fails, but let us know results so we keep checking this tool Rythea created.

Okay, thats what I was starting to think. In that case since I fed only plums this morning it should hopefully, finally, be snow white tonight.

Ok I am going to try again and I got Soot black to appear on the Current Guess.. What i want to know is, do the amount of fruit i have to feed is based on the item itself or at the time I get the GROWING NEW FEATHERS message?

I freaking give up, screw this game.. I was midnight blue followed the colour simulator and fed him 3 pineapples 1 apple and 1 pear and that shouldve gotten me Soot black... Somehow I ended up in Grape Purple W T F?

According to values and scale of color used, you're right, it should be soot black, but as I said, there is a range and the color scale may be different, I for one use http://www.superslothdesign.com/chocobo/

It's a tough adjustment from grape, I was on a loop with it for a long time, but try to go slowly now. Better to do little adjustments. 3 pears and 1 berry should land you in soot black, but just in case, do one of each and see if currant purple, or 2 pears for loam brown. In either case, that would be closer and if you land in those, you know what to add next.

Again, I don't recommend the big changes now.

The item itself, consider the growing new feathers message as confirmation of a color jump, but all fruits count to tip the scales towards that change.

Soot Black still being elusive to me! Ended up with Shadow Blue after using 2 pears from Currant Purple. Fed 2 apples (proc after 2nd) and 1 pear (proc message received after this 1 pear) and ended up Marsh Green. Have fed 1 berry (proc message received) and will find out in 6hrs.

Deepwood Green.. so fed x1 Valfruit (recieved growing new feathers message) and ended up back at Currant Purple. Have fed x1 pear this time. TBC

Okay, so I am going for one of two colors (whichever is easiest, I love both).
Where I am right now: Regal Purple. 95, 42, 71

Where I want to be:
Wine Red 62, 17, 14
-OR-
Shadow Blue 49, 49, 64.

I really like both of these colors and will go for whichever one would be easier to get from Regal Purple. Help please?

[Shadowshinra]

Ok.. So I used that calc to go from Royal Blue to soot black.. and I ended up with Abyssal Blue.. Want to get to Soot Black, Halp!

[sr7olsniper]

I will they the 3 pears 1 berry and see where I end up... Leave it to SE to make a system so retarded that no amount of logic can seem to decipher

Got my Marsh Green chocobo finally after so much gil and so much waiting T_T

Bounced around between so many greens and up into yellows at one point, had to eventually go one color change at a time using the 3xDeepening technique to lower all of the values at the same time.
