Been actively checking stuff and no Soot Blacks have been done yet as far as i know.

Yeah, i realize that, i've just been following this This document and according to the values that i'm now believing are pulled out of someone's behind, i should've landed just either shy off of Soot black or atleast near the color, but coeurl yellow? Cmon. ._.

I think what fruits get fed first/second/third as well as how many feed cycles were needed to gain a colour likely factor into these RNG colour equations.

Don't follow that. The running theory is that it depends on if you've gotten a 'feathers' message as well as how the lighten/darken are mixing together.

By now we know that fruit amount is wrong. It matters if you get the message abut feathers/plumage changing and how many times you get it for a color. The spreadsheet is dead wrong, and same combinations of fruits give different results depending on which ones actually trigger the change in feathers.

Food counting is inaccurate. I believe it relies on the feather growth message. You could follow the same food count as listed on the chart, but if that person procced a different amount of feather messages than you, then they will have a different color.

It's better to go in small increments towards the color you are looking for.

I agree, im going to start experimenting by feather messages

The Chocobo Dye Experiment thread is full of people testing colours via "Feather" messages. You might be able to get a more accurate result by mimicking some of the testing found there.

Just pure berries should get you Royal Blue. You also likely don't need such large amounts, especially not from where you're at right now.
