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

[MrsVolfield]

Keep in mind, this is not a complete 100% exact science yet, and will take a few Plumage changes to better guide you toward the color you want.

Here is the color chart for COEURL YELLOW:

182R 129G 3B

I would recommend the following for starters:

x10 O'ghomoro Berry
x3 Mamook Pear

What this should do is greatly reduce your Chocobo's RED color (which Coeurl Yellow is high in) while raising your BLUE color a bit (which it is very low in).
The green will also decrease by a small amount (theoretically).

If you report back the plumage color change after this feed, we can help you again to direct it more toward your desired color or Soot Black.

Going to try this value. Will report back in 6-9 hours. I'm GMT and it's 3AM.

GMT+1*

UK and Ireland on Daylight savings is GMT+1. Only reason I say this is for future reference as Server Time will follow your local time. However, live letters will continue to use GMT time zone reference. So right now if they say LL at 4pm GMT, it will be 5pm for you because of daylight savings putting you on GMT+1.

Anyway, back to this:

Following these words lead me right where I wanted to go, as well as that spreadsheet with the colors. I automatically assumed things were increased by +6/-6

I want to try and put together a spreadsheet to do all the calculations, it would require simply putting in the values of your choco's current colours and the values of your desired colours. There are discrepancies I can't take into account such as:

Meaning that a lighten red fruit can decrease the red value from -3 to -6 while simultaneously increasing the green/blue values from +3 to +6; your mileage may vary.

But I am only working on the skeleton of it right now.

If you look at the RGB for Coeurl Yellow, Moss Green (where you're at now), and Soot Black... Ravenguard put you on the right track. Your RED/GREEN values have been reduced while your BLUE slightly increased into Soot Black range. The next step would be to continue reducing RED/GREEN while maintaining BLUE at around the same value as it is now.

Starting Color: Coeurl Yellow
182 129 3

Current Color: Moss Green
105 108 33

Desired Color: Soot Black
37 35 30

You're on the right track! As Syrehn said:

Starting Color: Coeurl Yellow
182 129 3

Current Color: Moss Green
105 108 33

Desired Color: Soot Black
37 35 30

Now the goal is to keep your BLUE at or near the same value and to decrease your GREEN and RED by around 65ish points. Try something like this:

x2 O'Ghomoro Berry
x1 Mamook Pear
x1 Xelphatol Apple

For every group of the above you feed it, you will lower your GREENs and REDs evenly, while keeping your BLUEs around the value it is now (33).

You're going to want to feel him multiple, but to keep it in this pairing. For instance:

x10 O'Ghomoro Berry
x5 Mamook Pear
x5 Xelphatol Apple

I believe that would be a good start for the next plumage change. You're on the right path to Soot Black!
