I went another route already.

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

This put me at 48, 50, 42

All user preference, and I wish you the best of luck!

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!

Aww, congrats!!!

I feel like I'm trapped in a loop for my Ice Blue. Tried to hit either Ice Blue or White from a freshly lemoned yellow. Used plums and 1 Valfruit and got Syph Green ... but no biggy, cause everything I see online shows that it's just 1 step from Snow White or Ice Blue with the use of plums. Gave him plums until 1 message and came to find that he's Celeste Green. :/
Gave him an Apple, message on the first fruit so I let it be. Came out that syph green. Gave him a plum again with a message on the first one and left it like that ... will see how it worked out when I wake up.

It he comes out Celeste Green again I'm gonna have to try something else.

Maybe try removing either red or green? Instead of adding? I'm not sure. It seems that you were on the right track when you hit celeste green and maybe should've added another plum instead of an apple. Almost like the apple backtracked and pushed you back into the green-ish spectrum.

I have been on the slow and painful road on trying to get my chocobo to "Soot Black". I started off trying to get "Slate Gray" but messed up some where and now I am completely lost. I hope The following info helps anyone out. I will also keep editing this post till I finally get "Soot Black".

NOTE: I did not keep track the "Feather Growing" messages procs when feeding, sorry >.<

-snip character limit-

You really should stop feeding it mixed fruits. You are most likely wasting your resources because you'll go from colour to colour without knowing what you're landing on. You may have very well already landed on Soot Black but because you didn't stop after a 'feather proc', went on to another.
Check my sheet and it will be much clearer.
