So how do you get black? Lighten all hues or darken?

I'd assume darken, and lighten all is white.

In theory other way around. Black is the absense of colour and would be completely zeroed out on RGB scale. This is based around light rather then actual artistic colour theory. The gobbiebag brown colour came from lower the original RG value and increasing the B value to a point where they were closer to even.

It's actually not that. The correct wording is "deepen", not "darken".
It changes everything around.

The use of "lighten" and "deepen" respectively means "less" and "more" or the chosen color.
(The justification is: if you make something "lighter", you're reducing its mass. "Deepen" it can mean that you make it more 'strong', increasing its mass. At least, this is how I see it.)

So, in order to get a dark/black chocobo, you need to reduce the amount of red and green first, meaning that you would need a combination of a few Doman Plum (lighten red) and some Valfruit Seeds (lighten green).

I can't give any amount nor I can guarantee what I'm saying because the numbers seems to be all over the place. But I would go something like 4 Doman Plum and 3 Valfruit Seeds.

It won't be pure black, but it should get the values of red and green closer to the blue.
