Okay, so if I can't get to Soot Black from Wine Red, or get Snow White from Ice Blue, if I was to start over from default what would be the steps needed? I don't understand all the color numbers stuff going on so if anyone can help me, please keep it simple in terms of how many of what fruit and how many feedings. Would be much appreciated.

If you want my opinion, just stay on track where you are now and get the Soot Black.

Starting over is going to take more than twice as long to get back to where you already are now. Not everyone can get Soot Black the same way on the first several tries, least not from my experiences and several others. Follow my guide and feed only the amount of fruit for as many "beginning to grow new feathers" messages you get. Unfortunately, there's really no simple way to get there. It just takes a lot of time, effort, planning and commitment. I'll be here though, as well as many others, if you ever need help getting there. From the start though, I can't really help with that since I have yet to claim Soot Black myself yet, and I don't think doing a full guide yet is deserved from me until I have something to show for it, but I'm working on it.
