Anyone got an idea on how to get from Loam brown (63 57 47) to soot black (47 47 39)?

I can't vouch that this would work. Soot Black has been an extreme wild card for me, one that I have a rough time getting 100% down. I'd try:
1 O'ghromoro (58, 52, 52)
1 Mamook (53, 57, 47)
1 O'ghomoro (48, 52, 52)
1 Xelphatol (53, 47, 47)
1 Mamook (48, 52, 42)
1 Xelphatol (53, 47, 37)
1 Mamook (48, 52, 32)
1 O'ghomoro (43, 47, 37)

I went another route already.

Went with 4 berries, 2 pear, 2 pineapple and 1 apple.

This put me at 48, 50, 42

Thanks, I am close, so it's only little adjustments from now on. Guess I will know when I wake up.

Even got growing feathers on each feed this time.

Hello~ I'm new to this tread and I'm aiming for Ink blue.
With advice from my wife I give my choco food till it gives the "begins growing new feathers" message.

Here is the log of what happened to me so far:
(the numbers below are the numbers of "begins growing new feathers" messages I got before waiting 6 hours)
Desert Yellow > Berries > 1 > Cork Brown
Cork Brown > Berries > 1 > Ul Brown
Ul Brown > Berries > 4 > Shale Brown
Shale Brown > Berries > 4 > Lavender Blue
Lavender Blue > Berries > 3 > Othard Blue
Othard Blue > Apple > 2 > Plum Purple

I didn't see that last one coming since it wasn't on the list but for now I guess I'll feed it some more berries to try and get to Royal Blue before I'll feed it Apples again.

If anyone has got a better plan, I'm all ears. (In fact, if you have a better plan I'll take you to a planet where everyone is all ears.)

So... I don't have any screenshots of my choco yet since it's night time, but I got my ICE BLUE finally! Well...First few attempts were just experimental to see what'd happen, then I used a lemon to start fresh. I ended up using 15 Doman Plums, of which the first 3 did nothing, but #4-15 all had the "grows new feathers" message with them. 6 hours later...BAM. Ice blue. I couldn't be happier!

Here's a picture of my choco!
