I think we also need to consider whether people are taking those color samples from the "examine" window, or standing out in the sun, or in the dark. It's near impossible to determine actual RGB value results when there's not a common lighting arrangement.


One thing is obvious, the examine window looks nothing like the color when the bird is out in the sun, or at night either for that matter. Also, measuring it in the shade of a stables will produce a wholly different picture.

We really need to agree on a common lighting scenario, and preferably one not involving the examine window.

Science is king, yes, but we need controls to determine results.

I think the colour values were taken from the dye window as opposed to the chocobos themselves, this gives you a fairer idea of the RGB values of that colour as it is unaffected by light or shadow.

Replying to my own goop here .... but OK ... following along with this, I suggest the South Thanalan desert in the sun.
