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

Could anyone help me out here? Looking to get to either Gloom Purple or Lavender Purple. Right now I have a bunch of Berries(68) Apples(48) and Valfruit(36) to work with. I also have 1 Han Lemon so I can start from Scratch.

Anyone know what my best bet to hit Gloom/Lavender Purple would be?

My chocobo is Lavender Purple atm. You can get there using only berries. To play it safe, you could feed berries till you got the 'growing new plumage' message and then stop and wait for 6 hours, and do it again till you get to Lavender. I used 13 berries to get there, but this was before we were looking at the plumage message, rather than the number of berries.

Hmm yeah I was thinking of doing that. I'll have to try it out when I wake up in the morning I suppose. Ive been trying to wait on using the Lemon until someone could give a more concrete(Well, as Concrete as this system allows of course) amount of Plumage Change messages it took.

So I've been trying, unsuccessfully to get my chocobo to soot black. I've gotten him to midnight black a couple of times, then in my attempts to get him closer to black, have dyed him purple, and now void blue. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also came here looking for advice. I've seen various people reach Abyssal Blue, but the tips didn't really work out for me. I don't have all my steps written down but most of my frustrations comes from these latest.

Royal Blue
+ 1 apple (? feeds)
Gloom Purple
+ 1 berry (? feeds)
Royal Blue
+ 1 apple (? feeds)
Regal Purple
+ 1 berry (? feeds)
Royal Blue
+ 1 apple (2 feeds)
Regal Purple
+ 1 berry (2 feeds)
Royal Blue
+ 1 apple (1 feed)
Regal Purple
+ 1 berry (2 feeds)
Royal Blue
+ 1 pineapple (1 feed)
+ 1 apple (1 feed)
Regal Purple

I'm not sure at all what to try to feed my chocobo now or if I should reset his color to start again.

EDIT: Fed him 5 berries and 5 pears going by the rgb values in calculator - each of the feeds got new feathers message. I really hope ths brings me to Abyssal Blue. I have followed calculator with the pineapple and apple previously already though and the current guess was Abyssal blue then as well...

+ 5 pears (same)
Hoped for: Abyssal Blue
Got: Royal Blue. Again.

Even with the 5 berries and pears he ended Royal Blue again. Absolutely no idea what to feed him this time anymore. ;_; I tried apples from this several times, even in combination with pineapples already...

Hello there, now taking care of my second chocobo and trying to get from Turquoise green to Morbol Green, anybody has an advice to give ? (if you need a picture of turquoise green, I can make one)

I'm trying to do this as well.

You need to deepen everything equally.

You are at Turquoise Green (71, 119, 119)
You want to get to Morbol Green (31, 71, 71)

Berry x 9
Apple x 10
Pear x 9

Berries 9 (11)
Apples 10 (10)
Pears 9 (17)

So, this lead me to Ochu Green
Ochu Green -> 1 Berry (5) -> Turquoise Green
Turquoise Green -> 8 Apples (10) + 9 Berries (9) + 9 Pears (9) + 2 Apples (2) -> Hunter Green
Hunter Green -> 1 Berry (6) -> Morbol Green.

I hope that will help someone

What is the color now? It could be shorter, depending.

For the Lavender: From Desert Yellow, you can do it in 5-7 feeding sessions by feeding Berries until you get a "Chocobo is growing new feathers" message. At that point, stop feeding, wait the 6 hours and see the change, repeat until you get Lavender.

I have seen 1 report of Gloom Purple by continuing to feed the Berries beyond the Lavender (could be up to 3 more sessions)

It is safer to do the colors in single steps, as each "new feather" message after the first could be a "hq" type of proc, a color change, or nothing happens. The game shows a new feathers message regardless of actual result.

Right now my Chocobo is Dalamud Red.
