If I understand your post correct, you went from Deepwood Green > Kobold Brown basically? Sounds like you might be hitting the loop we have been struggling to find remedy for.

There is a few different methods you could try. Obviously Kobold > Soot straight up should be Doman Plum till you get feather change. This might result in Ink blue however based on previous results. I'm wondering if the 'bottom out' theory will play out personally. Feed all 3 Darkening fruit to bottom out (close to 0 color) then feed all 3 lightening fruit to get it back up to the Soot black range (evens out your numbers like Soot needs). I believe someone else is trying that out currently.

I'm really wondering if with these dark colors we are all getting our blue a little low, and our reds a little high. One thing I'm thinking is because of SE rounding into color ranges, having your green be mid-high, with blue being rather low, and red high is what is happening in this circular coloring. Something I'd be interested to see if works is feeding x1 Berry (gets blue back up) > x1 Doman Plum. I personally think this could work.

People keep saying RNG, but I personally think it has more to do with our unseen color ranges that are rounded. Obviously SE has to have some sort of tolerance for bringing 3 separate numbers into a color range.

Appreciate the reply, I'll try the Plums then come back to say whether I achieved Soot Black or Ink Blue.
